The Ambarawa Railway Museum, ((インドネシア語:Museum Kereta Api Ambarawa)) is a museum located in Ambarawa in Central Java, Indonesia. The museum focuses on the collection of steam locomotives, the remains of the closing of the railway line. ==Museum building and location== Ambarawa was a military city during the Dutch Colonial Government. King Willem I ordered the construction of a new railway station to enable the government to transport its troops to Semarang. On May 21, 1873 the Ambarawa railway station was built on a 127,500 m² land. This was known back then as Willem I Station. It was finished at the same time as the Kedungjati-Bringin-Tuntang-Ambarawa line. The station building consists of two main building for waiting room and station master room. The Willem I Railway Station was originally a transhipment point between the gauge branch from Kedungjati to the northeast and the gauge line onward towards Yogyakarta via Magelang to the south. It is still possible to see that the two sides of the station were built to accommodate different size trains. On April 8, 1976,〔 the Ambarawa Railway Station was officially converted into the Ambarawa Railway Museum by the governor of Central Java Province at that time Supardjo Rustam. The museum preserves the steam locomotives, which were then coming to the end of their useful lives when the gauge railways of the Indonesian State Railway (the Perusahaan Negara Kereta Api, PNKA) was closed. These are parked in the open air next to the original station.〔 In 2010, the building of Ambarawa Railway Museum was made heritage building.〔〔Under ''Peraturan Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata Nomor PM.57/PW.007/MKP/2010''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ambarawa Railway Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
