Philippine Railway Historical Society News and History!: August 2021

_
_

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.

914 - OFF TO DESCO

In the third part of our ongoing series covering the recent exchanging of locomotives between Caloocan and DESCO (Binan, Laguna), Railfan legend Mark Chua covers 914.

With 902 and 913 now back on the 'Philippine National Railway' system, it is now time for 914 and 916 (908) to get some TLC.

Once again we thank Mark for allowing us to share in this exciting event. Photos and video below.
