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.
