Welcome one and all to the 'Philippine Railway Historical Society' blogsite. This site was set up to share photos, historical pieces, comment and virtually anything else pertaining to transportation in the Philippines, with a special emphasis on rail. Occasional we vary from topic, but this is the less serious side of the hobby shining through - cause sometimes, in this miserable and uptight world, we just take ourselves a little too seriously.
Since 1999, the Philippine Railway Historical Society has regularly published items, FOR FREE, of railway interest on our PRHS Website. These include locomotive, rollingstock and transit updates, as well as our occasional magazine, 'Along Da Riles'.
Our interest base has grown over the years with our main Facebook railway group expanding to include groups interested in other Philippine Transport, modelling of Philippine transport and even a group for Philippine railfans interested in overseas railways.
If it sounds interesting, come join in the fun of the oldest, and most diverse, group dedicated to Philippine railways and other transport.
We look forward to meeting you.

If you have a question Philippine railway related, just drop us a line, maybe we can help.

Celebrating 20 Great Years
Of The PRHS.
Another look at PNR's heavy haulers, the 900 class.
Both a beautiful looking locomotive, and an amazingly reliable one given the conditions they sometimes find themselves in.


919 thought to be the last operational locomotive to wear the 'Philippine 2000' livery.



My first visit to one of my favourite locations.
Tayuman Locomotive Shed.
921 and 916 still exist and are operational. The later was originally numbered 908.
904 would later carry the 908 number.


917 at the original Alabang station.
It was later replaced by a new station on the other side of the level crossing just visible in the background.
Ones asawa, and her cousin, are seen standing in the middle of the perway.
