Philippine Railway Historical Society News and History!: Damaged Bridge

_
_

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.

Damaged Bridge - Binan to Calamba

G'day,
Been a few weeks since the last update here.
Things have been hectic with my real life and also the setting up of an Australian chapter of the RIHSPI, more on which will appear shortly.
A travelling Japanese railfan recently obtained photographs of the damaged bridge preventing trains from proceeding beyond Binan at the moment.

To see more shots of the damaged bridge and othr recent Philippine railway and ferry shots head to his WEBSITE!

In other news, 'Wheel On Steel' has mentioned a P1.55b limited reconstruction allocation aimed at restoring some services to Legaspi.
