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.

FROM THE ARCHIVE - PART 1

 


As you could imagine, over the twenty-two years I've spent building a Philippine railway hobby, I have been fortunate to have been donated many historical items of interest.

The plan is to eventually donate all this to an appropriate museum archive in the Philippines, preferably a railway museum (if we are ever successful in launching one), for researchers in the future.

However, for now, I feel that we should be getting some of this stuff online. This occasional series will look at publications, photographs, diagrams etc, that have been donated over the years. It will also include some of the more interesting posts from our former Egroup and Yahoogroup forums.



The second stage of this project is to try to make it available, in a more sorted out fashion, via our main PRHS website, or a complete stand along website with our friends at PARE.

---------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE: If you have anything related to any railway that has operated in the Philippines, please share it with us, so that we may be able to share with the hobby.

Our first entry in this new series is the former 'PNR Express' newsletter.

October-December 1994
Donated by former PNR GM Sir Jose B Dado.
