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.

PRHS: HISTORY SERIES - PART1

 


Howdee

In recent times, I have been pondering how to further share some of the amazing historical

 contributions that appear on our PRHS chat group.

There has been some incredible items appearing over the years, but they have been limited to being

 viewed by Facebook users. 

After talking to a couple of members, I have decided to try having a new series on the blog that looks

 at some of these items.

We hope there will be items of interest to everyone. 

We also invite you to contribute anything of historical interest (Philippine railway operations) for

 sharing in future installments.
