| Zusammenfassung: | The Dutch or Netherlands East Indies -- The first railway on Java -- The choice of the most suitable railway gauge for the East Indies -- State or private railways? -- The early state railways -- Slowing down and reorganization -- Railways of Sumatra -- Sumatra's other railways -- The coming of the steam tram -- Toward a new prosperity -- The private companies until 1914 -- World War I and its golden aftermath -- Travel in the tropics-electrification -- The nonpublic railways -- Worldwide depression and slow recovery. "Narrow Gauge in the Tropics is the first comprehensive history of railways and tramways in the Dutch East Indies (modern Indonesia) from breaking ground in 1864 to the invasion of the Japanese during World War II. During the mid-19th century under colonial rule, the Dutch East Indies experienced enormous increases in production of sugar, coffee, and other commodities, resulting in a great dilemma: How were these goods to be moved to port when wagons hauled by animals was the only available form of transportation? The solution was to build a railway network through some of the most challenging terrain on the planet. Lavishly illustrated, Narrow Gauge in the Tropics explores technical aspects of the construction of the railways over difficult terrain, the origin of the technicians who made the seemingly impossible happen, and the social impact of the railways on the indigenous population"-- |
