BUDA22 THEN - NOW

Anyone who has visited Tutuban station would likely have noticed the small railcar looking thing up the west end of the main concourse.
  I recently found some photos in the late William 'Bill' Sullivan (PRHS VP) collection and thought it would be great to give people a comparison of the vehicle back in 2007, and how she appears today.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 2007, at Caloocan Workshops, she was little more than a hollow shell and in severe danger of being scrapped. Her sister, #21, was in much worse condition, and can be seen next to her in these photos.
I am not aware of the fate of #21, but suspect it cannot be good.







Another Product of the BUDA Company.
This was  not a Philippine unit.
For more information on the company, check Wikipedia.


Hard to believe she is the same vehicle as 
in the above shots.
BUDA22 now sits here in the Tutuban station concourse, along with a small display of historical shots. It is great to see people often go have a look and experience a small part of their important railway history.
