Question

With the recent railway developments in Indonesian, the history of trains in Java during the Dutch East Indies period is interesting to consider, from the horse-drawn passenger trains to the cow-drawn fright trains.

As reported by compas.com, Compas Daily on August 29, 1969 covered the origins of the trains in Indonesian, including the 10 railway operators at the time.

In the early 1900s, trains were drawn by cows and horses. Fright trains were pulled by cows to transport sugarcane. Meanwhile, passenger trains, which consisted of only one or two cars, were drawn by four horses along the Purwosari- Banyudono-Boyolali route in Central Java. This method continued until 1912, when horses were replaced by locomotives. However, these locomotives needed to be operated by a designated train driver because of the complex system.

To connect Magelang and Ambarawa in Central Java, a hilly area, railway operators used the only locomotive mode available in Java. A locomotive was placed on the front and back of the train. On uphill tracks, an extra locomotive would be placed at the back to provide more power. For downhill tracks, the locomotive would be moved to the front.

How were the earliest fright trains operated?
A. Pulled by cows
B. Pulled by horses
C. Drawn by cows and horses
D. Drawn by locomotives
E. Pulled by electric machines
