Over time, the Sukabumi city station still functions and serves trips to the West Bandung area and the Bogor area. Some time ago, I walked around the train station, Saw a locomotive winder that was no longer working, the locomotive turner was not far from the station building.

This locomotive used to turn the direction, because the previous locomotive still used one cabin. As time goes by, the locomotive used now are two cabin locomotive, and no longer rotate the direction of the locomotive.

It can be seen that the locomotive's turning rails have been covered by grass and reeds. And the metal for manually turning the locomotive has turning the locomotive has been damaged.
