A 54-year-old man, wearing a yellow T-shirt on which oil spots scattered, greeted railfans who visited Ambarawa Steam Locomotive Depot—used to be an asset of NIS—in Central Java. He was Pudjiono, who was born in Ambarawa on 15th March 1955 and was about to retire from his position as Head of Ambarawa Steam Locomotive Depot—he was posted to this position in 2000. He was a leader who was willing to dirty his hands and shirt while maintaining and repairing steam locomotives. An example was he went to check the under parts of C12 18 when the steamer was in a preparation to be reactivated in March 2006.
