The locomotives' operations started in 2013 and became Indonesian Railway's main workhorse for hauling trains. These locomotives operates along the Java main line<ref name=IRJ>{{cite web| url=http://www.railjournal.com/index.php/locomotives/ge-to-supply-50-locomotives-to-indonesia.html| title=GE to supply 50 locomotives to Indonesia| first=Keith| last=Barrow| date=18 September 2014| website=International Railway Journal}}</ref> for hauling freight and passenger train, and along South Sumatra and Lampung for hauling freight trains, mainly unit coal trains from Tanjung Enim to Kertapati. They are double-cabin, and the most active double-cabin locomotives in Indonesia.
== History == Before there was the GE CM20EMPs, there were older double-cab locomotives used in Indonesia, such as the CC200s (Alco-GE UM 106T), the BB301s and BB304s (Krupp M1500BB), and the BB305s (built by CFD).<ref>{{cite web| url=http://keretapi.tripod.com/dieselroster.html| title=Diesel Locomotive Roster| first=Indra| last=Krishnamurti| date=6 December 2004}}</ref> While they were once used for express passenger trains, they are now{{as of?|date=January 2026}} mostly operated as switchers, and a large majority have been withdrawn.{{when|date=January 2026}}
In the mid-2000s, the Indonesian State Railways Co. decided to modernize its existing mainline fleet, with locomotives such as the recently introduced CC204s (C20EMP locomotives). However, with the increasing cost of maintenance, caused by aging and inefficient locomotives, in 2010, the company decided to buy new diesel–electric locomotives to be added to its roster.<ref>{{Cite news|last=M.|first=Shinta|date=6 December 2012|title=PT KAI Akan Datangkan 75 Lokomotif Baru|language=id|work=Tempo|url=https://bisnis.tempo.co/read/446354/pt-kai-akan-datangkan-75-lokomotif-baru|access-date=12 June 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release| url=http://www.emdiesels.com/emdweb/company/more/060110_prs.html| url-status=dead| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610052612/http://www.emdiesels.com/emdweb/company/more/060110_prs.html| archivedate=10 June 2010| author=Electro-Motive Diesel| date=1 June 2010| title=Progress Rail Services Announces Intention to Acquire Electro-Motive Diesel}}</ref> Due to the latest law from Indonesia Government's Ministry of Transportation, every new locomotive should no longer have a 'long-hood' position, to decrease the number of accidents.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://jdih.dephub.go.id/assets/uudocs/permen/2010/km._no._40_tahun_2010.pdf| title=Peraturan Menteri (Permen) No. 4 Tahun 2010| language=id}}</ref> This is related to limited sight of the engineer when the locomotives run on long-hood position.
By September 2012 the company had signed a contract for 100 locomotives of the CM20EMP type and these were introduced in 2013. The locomotives were supplied without bogies ━ the bogies were assembled by Barata Indonesia. After arrival in Indonesia, the locomotives were moved to Yogyakarta Workshops to be trialed and tested.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}
Additional 50 locomotives were ordered in 2014, with the first 39 locomotivess arriving on 14 August 2015,<ref name=IRJ /> and were directly brought to Yogyakarta Workshops. After undergoing testing, 28 locomotives were transferred to Kertapati, South Sumatra to haul unit coal trains in South Sumatra.<ref>{{Cite news| url=https://www.kaorinusantara.or.id/newsline/45580/kai-jajal-lokomotif-cc-206-baru-dinas-ka-babaranjang| title=KAI Jajal Lokomotif CC 206 Baru Dinas KA Babaranjang - KAORI Nusantara| last=Adi| first=Taufik| date=15 February 2016| work=KAORI Nusantara| access-date=16 March 2017|language=id}}</ref>

== Features ==
=== Body === The CM20EMPs were made when Indonesian Railways Co. needed a double-cab locomotive. The cab and body are similar to the British Rail Class 70 (GE PowerHaul series), but the front windows are like the Indonesian GE U20Cs of class CC203. The headlights and cab doors are like another (unspecified) Indonesian U20C.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}
=== Engines, specifications, and electronic devices === The locomotives uses a newer version of the GE 7FDL-8 engine that meets the same emission standards as the GE Dash 9 Series locomotives. The power output of CM20EMPs is 2,250 horsepower, equal to that of EMD G26, and 100 hp more than the 2,150 hp CC203s/GE U20C. Meanwhile, the tractive effort of these locomotives is as much as 248 kN (starting) and 207 kN (continuous). These locomotives are equipped with GE BrightStar™ computer systems, integrated with the GE Integrated Function Display™. The CC206s has a different horns from the previous GE locos in Indonesia. While its predecessors use Wabco AA2 with factory note tuned to D, G (play perfect 4th mid C), the CC206 locomotives use Nathan 3rd gen P2 (Bell No. 1&4) with factory note tuned to D, A (play perfect 5th mid C), (Unlike the other P2 using Bell No. 1&2 play minor 3rd).
One CC206 locomotive can haul up to 16 passenger cars or 30 freight cars.
== Allocations == Initially, all CC206 of 2013 batch (no. 13 01 – 13 100) and some units of 2015 batch (no. 15 01 – 15 11) were allocated to various motive power depots across Java, while the rest of 2015 batch (no. 15 12 – 15 39) and all of the 2016 batch (no. 16 01 – 16 11) were allocated to {{sta|Kertapati}} depot in South Sumatra.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://djka.dephub.go.id/uploads/202305/KP-DJKA_67_TAHUN_2023_GAPEKA_JAWA_2023.pdf|title=Grafik Perjalanan Kereta Api pada Jaringan Jalur Kereta Api Nasional di Jawa Tahun 2023|date=14 April 2023|accessdate=5 April 2024|publisher=Direktorat Jenderal Perkeretaapian|location=Jakarta|language=ID|pages=1807|archive-date=11 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230511180230/https://djka.dephub.go.id/uploads/202305/KP-DJKA_67_TAHUN_2023_GAPEKA_JAWA_2023.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://djka.dephub.go.id/uploads/202305/KP-DJKA_70_TAHUN_2023_GAPEKA_SUMBAGSEL_2023.pdf|title=Grafik Perjalanan Kereta Api pada Jaringan Jalur Kereta Api Nasional di Sumatra Bagian Selatan Tahun 2023|date=14 April 2023|accessdate=5 April 2024|publisher=Direktorat Jenderal Perkeretaapian|location=Jakarta|language=ID|pages=237|archive-date=5 June 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230605022820/https://djka.dephub.go.id/uploads/202305/KP-DJKA_70_TAHUN_2023_GAPEKA_SUMBAGSEL_2023.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>

== Accidents == * On 12 September 2013, a conflagration destroyed a residence settlement, at Malang. As a consequence, the locomotive numbered CC206 13 16 was burnt. The witness said that the fire started in a house, where someone was cooking and spread from there. After that, the fire flamed and licked a Honda Supra motorcycle parked 2 metres from the stove. Then, the fire burnt all of the kitchen. Because the kitchen distance was just 2 metres from the rail that headed to Pertamina depot, the fire also burnt the CC206 13 16 that was shunting an oil train. The locomotive (CC206 13 16) was heavily damaged on its A-side.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=3463613366884&set=gm.10151562653776105&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf| title=(untitled)| website=Facebook}}{{dead link|date=October 2017}}{{unreliable source?|date=October 2017}}</ref> All the victims were injured on their feet and faces.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.tribunnews.com/regional/2013/09/13/korban-kebakaran-lokomotif-alami-luka-bakar-di-kaki-dan-muka |title=Korban Kebakaran Lokomotif Alami Luka Bakar di Kaki dan Muka |website=Tribunnews.com|date=23 September 2023 | language=id}}</ref> * On 4 April 2014, at 18:30 West Indonesian Time, the Malabar train was derailed at Tasikmalaya, West Java due to a landslide.
