Here are some pages from the operating manual for the GE U20C, Indonesia CC203 class.

On the title page, GE highlighted the fact that it was fitted with the 26L braking system. In this case, it was the three-pipe (Australasian terminology) version, which I think was not common in the USA, where the four-pipe universal version was mostly used. First user of the 26L outside of North America was New Zealand Railways (NZR), in 1961, with the three-pipe version. (But for various reasons it went on to use the four-pipe and four-pipe universal versions in some cases.)

The Indonesian version of the U20C was unusual with its wedge-shape front end. But then Indonesian Railways had a history of unusual GE models, such as the U18A1A, the subject of a separate current thread. Before that, in the mid-1950s, its CC200 class was a specialized variant of GE’s then quasi-standard Alco 12-244-engined shovel-nose export design. In this case it was a lengthened, double-cab version, with the triple-truck C-2-C wheel arrangement. That was done to reduce axle loading, with the idea that the centre truck could be removed at some future date following appropriate track upgrading, although as far as I know that never happened.

Cheers,

Match isn't yes if GEU20C or CC203 applied a Leslie RS44 horn type, because I am very bored a Wabco AA-2 horn type
