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.

CC300 20 02 LOCO TRIAL

 


December 30th, 2020, proved to be a very historic day on the 'Philippine National Railways (PNR)', when their new locomotive 'C300 20 02' did a trial from Tutuban to Alabang.

  According to PNR, the "locomotive is doing load gauge testing as a precondition to its validation run to ensure that the new fleet is within the track gauge and that there will be no obstruction at level crossings".

The CC300 (Philippines 9000 class) are a product of
PT INKA in Indonesia, who have delivered three units, along with 16 coaches, for use on metro services in Manila.













Aldriene Mabale took the following two shots as the locomotive past Sucat.
