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.

ROTEM CAB




Howdee one and all.
Over the years, I have been somewhat privileged to take part in some interesting events on the
'Philippine National Railways'.

Back in 2009 the South Korean built ROTEM railcars were being delivered. For once I was in he country at the right time and got to witness both the delivery of new sets and take part in some trials that took place on the south line (in Manila).

It was during the later that we were invited to check out the drivers cab of the set we were trialing.
Thought some shots of the, then new, DMU cab may be of interest to our readers. 




Contrary to appearances, I didn't actually drive it.






If you look closely, you can make out the old PNR logo underneath the new one above.
