Katia Loves i9000

Description

Dear Katia-chan, I know you love trains. Bad Uzume-chan for not allowing you to joyride when you wanted it. In exchange, would you like if we introduce you to a new series of Electric Multiple Units train...? I'm pretty sure you've never seen it before, especially in Japan, because it's only built in Indonesia for domestic operator. :iconfoxhappyplz:

Meet i9000, an Electric Multiple Unit commuter train built by INKA (Industri Kereta Api, Madiun, East Java, Indonesia) in 2011. Featuring VVVF (Variable Voltage Variable Frequency) IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) technology from Bombardier A.G. 40 units of them were built to form 10 trainsets with 4 cars per trainset. :iconfoxthumbplz:

More info about the i9000 : [wikipedia]id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kereta_r… [Indonesian]

There was a time between September 2014 and February 2015 where all i9000 trainsets were returned to INKA, mostly for improvements in the propulsion system. I, and pretty sure most of Jabodetabek railfans and commuters (a.k.a KRLmania), definitely missed them, especially since they're one of the few domestic-built models (with the other one is called Holec Repowered). FYI, most EMU's running in Jabodetabek are Japanese used ones, with new livery.

Nowadays, it runs only on "pink line" that connects JakartaKota (JAKK) station and Tanjung Priok (TPK) station, as well as feeder service between Duri (DU) station and Manggarai (MRI) station. Before, it used to run for regular commuter services. I used to ride it to commute, like nearly everyday, on "green line" that connects Tanah Abang (THB) and Serpong (SRP) / ParungPanjang (PRP) / Maja (MJ) station.

As usual, comments and constructive critics are appreciated. :iconfoxblushplz:
