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.

  In the sixth part of our series, we will take a look at what was in Caloocan Railway Workshops during a visits a decade, and more, ago.
Much of the passenger rollingstock has since been scrapped, while others still survive in 2020.
Thank you to the 'Philippine National Railways' for your ongoing support. Most especially, PNR General Manager Mr Junn Magno.

Please support the PRHS by checking out some of our website advertisers here. All we do is done voluntarily and checking out the ads helps a little with the costs.

Salamat Po.


  We shall also take a look at some rollingstock there back in 2004 and 2007.

Inspection car. Only saw outside the workshops on my first trip in 1999.
Following that first sighting, it found itself in the dark blue livery, but was stored by the time of my visit in 2004.


The 7C was becoming a rarity even in 2007.








MCBP-4 was the last of her type and would be scrapped three years later.



12 801 is a dining car that was donated by Japan.
It had not seen use at the time of these 2007 photos.



Above two shots show CMC railcars in the smaller workshop building back in 1999.
