I must admit, I’d never really thought about the railway system in Java.
For some reason, I had it in my head it was a collection of sugar cane lines, and maybe some 3’6” lines crossing the island, sort of like a compact Queensland Railways when it was still Quaint and Rattly.
I couldn’t have been further off the mark if I tried!
It turned out, there’s a really great passenger and freight network, with a mix of modern and older mechanical signalling spanning the island.
