A German railfans trying his hand on a newly refurbished B51 steam locomotive, while it does run around at Tuntang railway station, near Ambarawa, Indonesia, during a Farrail railtour gathering. The B51 12 locomotive is the sole survivor of once ubiquitous B51 steam locomotive, which was famous on Rangkasbitung-Labuan. Ironically, this particular loco was last based at Kertosono locomotive depot in East Java, before being withdrawn and placed on pedestal display at Ambarawa in 1972. In 2012, the locomotive was removed from pedestal and placed on rails for restoration before eventually returning back to running condition in early 2014.
