About

The Indonesian government had steam locomotives built in Germany for the Indonesian railways. The first of these is now being transferred in the Amsterdam harbour to the freighter "Celebes" which will take the machine to Tandjong Priok. SHOTS: - A barque arrives in the harbour with an open hold; there is a steam locomotive in the hold; - a huge floating sheerlegs comes alongside the barque; the locomotive is fixed to a yoke by steel beams; the floating sheerlegs slowly lifts the locomotive, hanging from the yoke, out of the hold of the barque and carefully lowers the machine onto rails specially laid for it on the deck of the "Celebes". Note : The commentary mentions two locomotives.
