S.O. Goenoengsari. Railemplacement met opgeslagen Installatiedeelen. 4-2-27. 1927

This black and white photograph, taken in 1927 by an unknown photographer, captures a scene from the construction of a railway line in Goenoengsari. The image shows a collection of metal pipes and other construction materials, stacked and ready for use. In the background, a row of simple structures, possibly temporary housing for workers, stand in the distance. The composition is somewhat reminiscent of a documentary style of photography, providing a glimpse into the daily activities of a large-scale construction project. This snapshot from the Rijksmuseum collection offers a unique perspective on the development of infrastructure in the Dutch East Indies during the 1920s.
