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.

DMU Unveiling

  December 11th was a historic day for the 'Philippine National Railways' with the official unveiling ceremony of their new, Indonesian built, DMU sets.


  These lovely new trains were manufactured by PT Industri Kereta Api (Persero) [PT INKA Persero] and had arrived in Manila Port on December 9th. While one set had already been taken to Tutuban (see here), this set remained at the port to take part in the ceremony.
  Amongst the guests were DoTr Secretary Art Tugade, PNR General Manager Junn Magno, Indonesian Ambassador to the Philippines Dr Sinyo Harry Sarubdang and Under Secretary for Rails Timothy John Batan.
The day was much enjoyed and gave a glimpse into the future of our beloved 'Philippine National Railways'.

  On behalf of the 'Philippine Railway Historical Society' I would like to thank the 'Philippine National Railways' GM Junn Magno & Atty Lauta, DOTr and PT INKA, for permitting our group to be part of important event.
  A huge thank you to our roving reporter, Mark Chua, who represented the PRHS.

  
  The future of PNR is bright - lets all support them on this great journey.
