The ESS 3200, later the WH 200 (Werkspoor-Heemaf)[citation needed] was a class of electric locomotives built for the Staatsspoorwegen, the State Railway of the Dutch East Indies (modern day Indonesia).
The ESS 3200s were first used on 6 April 1925, which also was the same day the first electrified railway line in Java from Tanjung Priok to Meester Cornelis (modern day Jatinegara) was opened.[1]
Design and service history
[edit | edit source]The ESS 3200s were of the 1-Bo+Bo-1 wheel arrangement, used a 1,500 V DC overhead catenary, producing 765 kilowatts (1,026 hp). They were built by the Werkspoor using Baldwin equipment, and had Heemaf / Westinghouse electric motors.[2] Six locomotives were built for the line.[3] Although the 1,500 V DC system was the most popular of the 1920s, Baldwin-Westinghouse were better known for their AC electric locomotives.
The ESS 3200s, now reclassified as the WH (Werkspoor-Heemaf) 200 class[citation needed][when?] were in service until 1976.
Preservation
[edit | edit source]After sitting idle for many years, 3202 was returned to working order. It was returned to service and as of 2013, was hauling tourist trains in Jakarta.[3] 3202 currently bears road number 3201. The original 3201 was totalled in the 1968 Ratujaya train collision.[4]
3202 is currently stored at Manggarai rolling stock workshop.
