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.

This one gets me particularly excited.
Nigel Menzies got this outstanding shot of Lopez Sugar #10 on Negros Island.
I could kick myself that I never got down there to see this in action.



This is the outstanding Palicpic Ayungin Bridge.

San Juan Bridge -Calamba.

Years ago, John Holland sent me a photo of a 1620 class passing over this bridge. Since that time, I have long dreamt of getting a PNR train passing over it, with the Mayon Volcano nice and clear like this.
Enrile Bridge, Comon, Travesia - Benjamin Saga



Old National Highway Bridge.
Near SM City Sta Rosa.
Peter Jiro Estavilla Padilla


This one sure gets the stunning lighting award
Alanoras Bridge.

Outstanding shot of a new locomotive passing over the Concordia Bridge.
It is of particular interest as it is not the usual front 3/4 photo that we normally see of these things.
