Tasikmalaya derailment

The Malabar train was carrying 11 train cars and 360 passengers at the time of the incident,^[3] this accident was caused by a landslide at km 244, Terung Village RT 05 RW 09, Mekarsari Village, Kadipaten District, Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java due to heavy rains with a long duration, so the train overturned.^[3][4][5] This accident resulted in 5 deaths.^[1]

As a result of the accident, two executive-class cars, K1 0 67 27 and K1 0 67 22, along with the CC206 13 55 locomotive fell off the rails. Due to the heavy terrain, the evacuation of the locomotive was hampered. The weight of the CC206 locomotive, 90 metric tons (89 long tons), also hindered its evacuation. In addition, because of the very severe damage to carriage K1 0 67 22, the carriage had to be dismantled. Meanwhile, K1 0 67 27 could be saved after being fitted with a temporary bogie and undergoing major repairs at the Manggarai Depot.^[6]
