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    5-1-2019
Quezon Eco-Tourism Road

Photographic survey of section between level crossing and bridge
over unnamed river to the east.
While all Google map references refer to the area as Lucena, it is some way north (actually east geographically) of the actual main city area and station.
This was the first port of call on a three day mission to Naga and back. Having the family on board the 'Magical Bongo Van' with me, did not lend itself to a large amount of research time. However, we did make numerous ports of call and these will be covered on this blog in the coming weeks.
Feel free to keep checking back or, alternatively, make yourself easier and subscribe to the blog via that little subscribe function over to the right.

The ever present sled (motorized version) near the Eco-Tourism crossing..


A five minute walk gets you to this bridge over an unnamed river.
It is the smaller of two on the approach to Lucena station, the bigger being over the Iyam River.

Wish I knew this spot before going there :-)

More videos and photos from this coming shortly.
