===Indonesia=== [[file:C1218 Purwosari Surakarta.jpg|thumb|left|C1218, a preserved 2-6-0 steam locomotive for the Jaladara train.]] The State Railway Company of the Dutch East Indies (''Staatsspoorwegen'', SS) in [[Indonesia]] operated 83 units of {{nowrap|2-6-0}} [[tank locomotive]]s of the C12 series, built by [[Sächsische Maschinenfabrik]] of [[Chemnitz]], [[Germany]] in 1896. They were wood-burning locomotives which consumed two cubic metres of wood and {{convert|3500|L|abbr=off}} of water for 4½ hours of steam production. Of these locomotives, 43 survived the invasion by [[Japan]] during the Second World War and were still being operated following independence from the [[Netherlands]]. They were based in [[Cepu, Blora|Cepu]] in Indonesia and were used on the [[Cepu Forest Railway|Cepu]]-[[Blora]]-[[Purwodadi Grobogan|Purwodadi]]-[[Semarang]]-[[Bojonegoro]]-Jatirogo route, now closed. By the early 1980s, the survivors of the class were in poor condition. One example, C1218 no. 457, was revived in 2002 after twenty-five years, in [[Ambarawa]] motive power depot. By mid-2006 it was operational, and since 2009 it was moved to Surakarta, Central Java to haul a chartered steam train across the main street of the heart of Surakarta, named ''Jaladara''.
