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.

~~ LUCENA STATION AND YARD ~~

A PHOTOGRAPHIC THROSBY


PT1


Hello one, hello all, and welcome to part one in a series looking at Lucena station and yard in June 2009.
Yes I recently had the pleasure of visiting this lovely Luzon city and while there shot off around 300 photos of the local rail, scenery and hornbag related stuff.
One hopes you enjoy the selections spurted forth in coming days.



The platform of this remarkable looking little station!



Lucena Locoshed!



Yet another beautiful Pinay passes Lucena station!

Residents of the Lucena locoshed are bewildered by the railway interested Aussie.

More Lucena fun and excitment shortly.
