TUTUBAN STATION

Manila, Philippines - 21-12-2018

A selection of shots taken during a pre-Christmas visit to Manila's
main railways station.

919 arrives with the commuter service from Alabang.

922 prepares to depart with the next commuter service to Alabang. After she departs, yard shunter 5009 will shunt out the empty carriages of the service prior.

There is no doubting that the 900 class is a great looking loco. Recently the second lot of the class have gone in for rebuild, something that should extend their lives greatly.

LIBMANAN STATION

Located down in the Bicol region of the Philippines, Libmanan is served by the twice daily 'Bicol Commuter Train (BCT)' from Naga to Sipocot.
  However, due to typhoon damage at the south end of the Libmanan bridge (bridge will appear in the next posting) just a few days before, services have been suspended until repairs can be affected.
Thankfully, the station building has thus far been able to avoid any modernisation and still looks nice and well cared for.

In the next part we shall look at the impressive bridge just south of the station.
We shall then move on to Naga.
