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.

Tutuban Station - 2009

Tutuban 2009 - William 'Bill' Sullivan


Below is a photographic look at the new Tutuban station (Manila) during trackwork in 2009.
The original station, now 'Tutuban Centermall', was located some distance beyond the 'Philippine National Railways' offices seen in the background. For some year, passengers had to board at the temporary Tayuman station, located at the north end of the yard.
All photos were taken by the late Bill Sullivan (PRHS VP) and remain the copywrite of him. Please contact us if you wish to make use of any of these images.

Above: An interesting collection of rollingstock sitting at the far west end of the station.
From left to right, a rake of near extinct CMC/CTC railcar stock, a GC open wagon, two fuel tankers and the 7A class coaches that were then dwindling in number due to the arriving ROTEM railcars.
Interesting to note that another track, to the left of the CMC/CTC railcars, used to lead down to Manila North Port and, much earlier, the Pasig River. While the line still exists, much of it has been covered and is not visible.
