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.

Goodbye Lake Paco!


According to 'Philippine Railways SIG' member Jaime, Hanjin has recently started leveling the ground to the left side of Paco station.
The area is to be used as their compound during the Southrail rehabilitation project.
One fallout from this work will be the disappearance of the now infamous Lake Paco, a largish body of water covering the tracks in the vicinity of the station.
The photo above, taken during a group trip from Tutuban to Alabang in February, shows Lake Paco in all her glory.
