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.

CALOOCAN RAILWAY WORKSHOPS

APRIL 2018


 A look at the fascinating Caloocan railway workshops in Manila.
 Taken during my visit in April, it is a bit rough as I mistakenly entrusted my son to do it while I took the still shots.
  However, after two days of editing, I have come up with something marginally acceptable (I think) and decided to show it on here.


Coming Soon On My 
Youtube Channel

We look at historic stations north of Manila.
Manila's surviving signal boxes
Stations of Laguna and Quezon

A closer look at Tutuban/Tayuman yard & sheds.
