==== Preservation ==== [[File:Lokomotif D50.jpg|thumb|upright|SS 911 or DKA D5011 at the Transportation Museum of [[Taman Mini Indonesia Indah]]]] During [[Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies|Japanese occupation]] in 1942, all Dutch East Indies railway locomotives were renumbered based on [[Japan Railways locomotive numbering and classification|Japanese numberings]], this including the SS Class 900s were renumbered to D50s and this numbering system still used after the Independence of Indonesia by ''Djawatan Kereta Api'' (DKA) or Department of Railways of the Republic of Indonesia up to now. During [[Indonesian National Revolution]] some of SS Class 900/DKA D50 were used among the others to haul trains belonging to Republican fighters and the Dutch military. In some records, some of them were destroyed in action due to the conflict. While the SS911 or DKA D50 11 was captured by 2nd Company of ''1e Bataljon, 15 Regiment Infanterie'' of Dutch Marines during [[Operation Kraai]] in Yogyakarta. After the acknowledgement of Indonesian sovereignty by Dutch in 1949, the SS Class 900 were transferred to ''Djawatan Kereta Api''. In 1976, most of D50s were found regularly in [[Jember railway station|Jember]], East Java which many of them had been dumped out and seemed to be derelict. While the rest of them are still used regularly in South Sumatra pulling some coal trains. Out of 61 units, only DKA D50 11 (ex-SS911) survived and now preserved as static display in Transportation Museum of [[Taman Mini Indonesia Indah]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dickinson |first=Rob |title=PNKA Wallahs Part 7 |url=https://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/java/ford/ford07.htm |website=The International Steam Pages}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dickinson |first=Rob |title=A Month in Java, 1976 Part 4 |url=https://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/java/java7604.htm |website=The International Steam Pages}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dickinson |first=Rob |title=Java |url=https://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/incredibleindonesia/javagalleryd50.htm |website=The International Steam Pages}}</ref>
