JAKARTA - On Friday, January 5, at around 06.03 WIB, there had been a collision between the local Commuter Line Bandung Raya train and the Turangga train in Cicalengka, Bandung Regency.
However, until now, there has been no further information about the cause of this accident. The NTSC is deploying a team to find out the causes of this accident.
However, the specifications of the train that crashed have been known, namely the Turangga train bound for Surabaya-Gubeng Bandung with No. Lokomotive CC 206 13 97, and the Padalarang-Cicalengka Local Train with No. 350 train.
Launching from the Traveloka site and other sources, the name Tarungga Train itself comes from the name of the animal. According to the local people's trust, Turangga is another name for the horses riding the Javanese aristocrats. This horse is a symbol of a strong vehicle that is resistant to various situations.
PT. KAI (Persero) inaugurated the Turangga train on September 2, 1995. The inaugural launch features an Executive and Business class service.
However, entering October 1999, PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) decided to raise the Turangga train class to become the Executive train only, along with the entry of a new series of PT Inka productions.
This train will use the CC206 model towing locomotive at 50-100 km per hour. However, in 2022 the speed will be 120 km/hour. With this power, the train can travel within 10 hours.
In its operations, the Turangga train carried 10-12 trains. The series consists of one locomotive of CC206 model pullers, six to eight executive trains, one dining train, one generating carriage, and one baggage train.
The Turangga train routes include Bandung, Cipeundey, Tasikmalaya, Banjar, Kroya, Kutoarjo, Yogyakarta, Solo Balapan, Madiun, Jombang, Mojokerto, and Surabaya Gubeng Stations.
