Pagottan Sugar Mill Railways

Pagottan (also known as Pagotan) was one of two sugar mills on the former Madiun to Ponorogo railway line. It had a long field line towards Ponorogo with an out-station at Mlilir. We see empties heading to Mlilir and then take a ride on the tender of No. 3 out to the fields where the cane lori are being prepared. This is followed by some shots of the steep climb from the weigh bridge to the mill which required 3 beefy 0-10-0T+T locos Nos. 6, 7 & 8 to slowly move the loads over the weigh bridge and up to the mill. The initial footage was in 1991. The two subsequent clips in 2005 and 2008 where after the field lines had closed. We see the locos in different livery doing yard work. In the 2008 shot, No. 6 has acquired the boiler off a smaller loco and bull bars for pushing cane. A few years later 6, 7 & 8 were converted to fireless locos with new boilers. Footage of that will appear on a future KZbin video. The 0-10-0T+Ts appear to be 2-6-2T+T but the front and back axles are driven by gears on these Luttermöller locos from Orenstein & Koppel of Berlin.

After nearly 10 years since the Ponorogo line became disused, it's amazing to see the tracks are still in situ. It's also interesting to know that in 2005 field lines still exist, although may be not as long as 1991.

Well spotted. Ponorogo line seen near the beginning of this video.

[@JohnRaby]

Sorry, you misread my 2005 and 2008 statement, by that time the field lines had closed and it was yard work only.

[@theunderrated86]

@@JohnRaby Oh right okay, sorry yeah, didn't read your caption. I was just watching your video where it had the title "2005", which what I thought that field lines were still used then.

[@JohnRaby]

@@theunderrated86 I think the track under the road bridge was being used as a headshunt for the weighbridge. I'm pretty sure field trains had stopped by then.
