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.

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.

It's what we do :-)
