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.

ALBAY TYPHOON TRAGEDY


Want to HELP the victims?
See our site here.

Our thoughts are with all the people of Albay suffering following, what I am told was' the second biggest typhoon in Philippine history.
The photos coming through are just so hard to fathom.

The following photos (Cagsawa Ruins and railway) were taken by Father Joseph Salando and shared via his Facebook page.





Railway shots below from San Francisco, Guinobatan. 



An unidentified boxcar sits deep in the lahar, with, what appears to be, a rail crane in the distance.

The following photo was sent to me by Dirk Paul Celoso (thanks mate) and shows the rare CMC-366 and MC-333 that were likely nearby the location above.


No doubt, the coming days will bring more and more terribly sad stories of this tragedy.
The one thing that is clear is that they need much help.
