917 has reentered traffic after a period of time in storage at Caloocan.
She remains the only member of her class in the orange livery.

No advice has been received about DESCO rebuilds 902 and 913. It is anticipated, but unconfirmed, that they will be released in orange.

MARK'S NORTHERN ADVENTURE PART 4

 

Dagupan (Both Stations)

I recently read an old news report about a local group who had plans to restore the first Dagupan station as a historical site and museum.

It appears that this work has not yet begun.

The first station opened in 1892, with the opening of the Manila to Dagupan Railway.

The second station was constructed (1935) when the railway was extended to La Union, as the original could not be utilised as a through station.

These walls give a great indication of how magnificent this station once was.
We can only dream of funding coming forth to restore it to it's former glory.

MARK'S NORTHERN ADVENTURE PART 3

 

Again, our roving reporter, Mark Chua, has headed out searching for some of the Philippines rich railway history.

This time, he set off north for an overnight journey to San Fernando (La Union), where an early morning arrival saw them following the long closed railway line back towards Manila.

As always, we thank Mark both for his passion for the railways of the Philippines, but for his generosity in sharing it with us.

This is the second part of a multi-part series looking at what he saw.
