Museum Kereta Api Ambarawa, Railway museum in Semarang, Indonesia
Located at 474 meters above sea level, this former railway station houses 21 steam locomotives and multiple heritage railway vehicles from Indonesia's colonial period.
The station, originally named Willem I after a nearby Dutch fortress, opened in 1873 to support military operations between Semarang and the inland territories.
The museum maintains collections of royal inspection carriages, including those used by the Sultan of Madura, representing Indonesia's railway transportation heritage.
Three heritage train services operate from the museum, offering routes to Jambu, Bedono, and Tuntang using both steam locomotives and vintage diesel engines.
The railway line to Bedono features the only operational rack-and-pinion track system remaining in Indonesia, traversing steep mountain gradients.
