according to the conditions of travel and

In addition, it also provides attractive packages,
such as batik package, culinary, wedding to VIP
package, which of course come with different
tour rates. This special package requires
booking at least 1 week prior to the trip day
as Jaladara Klutuk requires preparation to be
able to serve passengers optimally.
This train operates on weekends only;
Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays. Its
operational hour is at 16.30 WIB on Saturday
and 09.30 WIB on Sunday, from Purwosari
Station. Due to high operating costs, the train
will only provide the service if it occupies the
minimum of 60 passenger for each departure.
If it is less than 60 passengers, a trip will be
cancelled, unless there are tenants who are
willing to bear for the one-way operational
cost.
This steam train crosses the legendary path
that divides Surakarta, from Purwosari to
Sangkrah Station, which is about 5 km away
using its locomotive numbered C1218,
classified as a small locomotive used for flat
routes. The speed is only 50 km/hour. Jaladara
has 2 carriages made from selected teakwood
with a passenger capacity of 70 people. The
two original teakwood carriages were made
in 1920 coded CR 16 and CR 144.
This train service is obviously coming with high
operational cost as it uses teakwood fuel. In
addition, this locomotive also requires large
amounts of water to produce steam to move
its locomotive. It takes at least 4 cubic meters
of water and 5 cubic meters of wood for a
distance from Purwosari to Sangkrah Station,
which is only 4 km away. A unique experience
surely comes at an expensive price.
Antique Steam Train
The Jaladara steam train is an old train made
in Germany in 1896 which was used by the
Government of the Netherlands East Indies as
a short distance transportation. The name was
taken from the heirloom train which the gods
gave to Prabu Kresna to eradicate crime.
