Filed under: — secretariat @ 13:53
Entered in 1950, Indonesia began to order the diesel locomotive in a large number of the the United States and Germany. Among them the diesel locomotive BB200 had the shape of the box. This locomotive was the first electric diesel locomotive made by General Motor (GM) EMD the United States. Made since March 1957 and sent to Indonesia at the end 1957 totalling 35 units.
This locomotive powered by double boogie, consisted of two wheels of the motivator and one wheel of the axis in the middle. So the number of wheels for the left and right side the locomotive had 6 wheels or 2 boogie. The weight 75 ton, in a long manner body 13,106 meters and wide 2,894 meters.
The diesel motor that was used was the type of EMD 8-567C and his kind was 2 steps that used blower to channel air to space of air revenue to the machine, so as to be able to be classed as blown engine.Whereas the power of the locomotive machine BB200 was 975HP and had the speed maximum 110 km/hour.
The form of the locomotive BB200 especially his face part was good the front (short hood) or behind (long hood) had the same form.Acknowledged as the front because of being adjacent to space of the engineer’s cabin, whereas the rear because far from the engineer’s cabin.
The face of the locomotive BB200 had the characteristics of the upper part was gotten two searchlights in the vertical position, and nearby right as well as left light was gotten the sign of the number had the shape of the ellipse.
It had attracted Bima train set.
This locomotive was brought in the first time in the Semarang city during 1957 and to the mainstay of Indonesian State Railway (DKA/ Djawatan Kereta Api) the Semarang branch (Currently 4th Operational Area – Semarang) in the period. However in fact his allocation not only in Semarang, but also in Kertapati and Tanjung Karang (Bandar Lampung).
The locomotive BB200 this had attracted the series of the executive’s train Bima (Blue the Night) the Jakarta-Surabaya route, At Dusk Main the Jakarta-Semarang route or Pandanaran the route Semarang-Solo-Yogyakarta. However together with the age increase, slow this locomotive began many that unused to the scrap iron. The last data that was received from the locomotive Dipo Semarang Poncol that BB200 that was active currently remained at 5 units that is BB200 08, BB200 13, BB200 21, BB200 23 and BB200 29.The locomotive BB200 13 could be counted that was healthiest and almost had not had problems with his machine compared with the locomotive BB200 that was other.
There were no spare parts.
The death of the locomotive BB200 was caused because spare parts from his factory were difficult to be received. Mr. Prio (the Organisasi Co-ordination part and the Plan, Dipo Lokomotif Semarang Poncol) said that now General Motor already did not produce the locomotive again so as rather was difficult to receive his spare parts.
During 2005, General Motor official released his locomotive industry, this Industry was afterwards taken over by Greenbiar Equality and was given by the Electro Motive Diesel name. Mr. Suyatno said that for the improvement of the locomotive BB200 that was still healthy used the cannibalisation system, that is taking some equipment from the locomotive BB200 that died to be installed to the locomotive BB200 that was in the improvement.
Considering the locomotive machine BB200 has been old enough, then this locomotive was only used to attract the series of the short distance carriage, that is the train Semarang-Bojonegoro route and the Semarang-Tegal route. The other activity was to carry out the slim task in the station Semarang Poncol and Semarang Tawang.
The substitute for clothes.
One of the rescue activities/the preservation against the locomotive BB200 this was to return the pattern of the colour of the locomotive to the pattern of the colour of the locomotive like at the time of the first time coming during 1957, this preservation Activity was carried out on the 4th Operational Area-Semarang, the Semarang Poncol Locomotovive depot and IRPS (Indonesian Railway Preservation Society).According to Mr. Suyatno, was chosen by him the locomotive BB200 29 as the object of the preservation because of his main generator was still good.

Wah… BB200 yah?
aku punya buku panduan teknisnya, hasil karya bokap tahun waktu magang STM di Stasiun Poncol, Semarang.
MANTAFFFF……
nanti aku carinya di kumpulan dokumen…
soalnya kertasnya juga udah tua banget.
apa PT INKA tidak bisa memodif/ganti mesinnya BB200, KRL Holec saja bisa dmodif jadi KRDE oleh PT INKA….
so kenapa tidak diserahkan ke PT INKA saja ?
wah mas niko untuk data teknis itu sangat berharga.
mung kin bisa dibuat copy an nya biar bisa lebih jelas dibaca.
kalau bisa BB200 13 di cat putih, kan lokomotif BB200 nya plg sehat diantara yg lainnya, trus juga jgn sampai semua lokomotif BB 200 yg masih di operasikan sampai jadi besi tua, seperti saudara bb 200 lainnya
klo BB 200 21&29 dipreservasi warna kuning hijau, tapi no 13 harus warna putih, karena lokomotif BB 200 13 yg plg awet muda
dengan berat hati ,saya sampaikan pada penggemar BB200 bahwa pada saat ini BB200 08 dan BB200 13 sedang sakit (crankshaft nya pataahh !) jadi sementara nongkrong dulu tunggu solusi
Salam kenal sobat … aku wong kediri dan sangat senang menemukann komunitas ini, mo nanya neh … terkait sepur jga namun REL nya … mungkin sobat disini ada yang punya foto2 tentang jalur rel sepur kediri – pare yang sdh tidak aktif lagi sejak awal 1980, seandanya ada gambar sepur kuno yang lagi nge-tem si stasiun gurah or pare … wow betapa endahnya … Manju Terus Bravo IRPS
slam kenal…

gmn Klo qta jg buat FO BB201 yang ada Di PWT
mas darmadi,saya iseng2 buka2 dan ketemu mas dar disini……..saat ini bb 200 masih berapa yg bisa so ? salam buat teman2 di dipo lok SMC
bb20029 yg ngecet kami…
ada yang kliru soal warna dan logo PNKA selanjutnya di revisi ke bb20023 yg kt benahi warna dan logo DKA,karna gambar yg kt cr beda dgn aslinya
Waktu saya berumur 5 tahun, BB-200 datang, saya, abang abang saya dan ayah saya menamakannya sebagai “diesel baru” untuk membedakannya dengan “diesel lama” CC200 yang berhidung pesek.
Kemarin saya berangkat dari St. Tawang dan sempat mengagumi BB200 yang masih prima, tapi cat luarnya sudah banyak mengelupas, tapi tetap saja mantaaaf
lok BB200 14 yg logo PJKAnya sayapnya keatas itu berarti ada di tanjung
karang, trus BB200 01 yg malang nasibnya kini harus berada di BY YK.
wah…. itukan lokomotif jadul favorit aku
waktu mudik 2010 kmaren, ane ngeliat BB20021 yg masih mondar-mandir di sekitaran DAOP 4. walaupun untuk kegiatan lansir dan pertolongan crew PUK saja. Kondisinya saat itu cat sudah pudar, beda sekali dengan cat CC200 yg masih kinyis-kinyis, spertinya BB20021 harus di PA.
,:; I am very thankful to this topic because it really gives useful information ‘”:
maaf mas koreksi sedikit di artikel tertulis BB 200 ini produk dari ..General Electric (GM) EMD, mungkin sy yg keliru mohon dikoreksi, apa gak seharusnya BB200 ini produk dari General Motor (GM) EMD (Electro Motive Diesel) di Amerika perusahaan GE dan GM apakah bukan 2 perusahaan yang berbeda yg masing-masing produknya salah satunya adalah locomotive electric, ada artikel yg pernah sy baca, di Amerika (Utara) produk locomotive dari EMD menguasai 30% pangsa pasar & selebihnya 70% dikuasai oleh GE, maaf apabila sy salah.
bedanya bb200 sama bb201 apa ya??
kira2 akhir 2009 sempat foto di BY.YK bukan bb200 sih tapi bb201 10 dipo PWT status PB (perbaikan).
koq tertulis buatan ‘General Electric’ (GM),……apakah bukan ‘General Motor’ ?
Terimakasih atas koreksinya…
This excellent website rocks !. I constantly come across new things & various right here. I appreciate you for that info.
I came across your web site, i believe your blog post is awsome, keep writing.
selain lokomotif bersejarah, mungkin keadaan jembatan besi, terowongan dan teknologi perkeretaapian juga perlu di ulas oleh redaksi. Go IRPS
Terima Kasih atas masukkannya masa
