DMR-01 ITR-01 DMR-02 TESTING - PT 2

 

Here be the second part of our visit to Tutuban yard during preparations for testing the new ROTEM railcars from South Korea.

The railcars were being delivered to the Philippines as part of a project to restore the metro heavy-rail tracks around Manila.

ROTEM - Part 1

While this work actually saw the north line refurbished to Caloocan, and the building of stations, the subsequent Aquino government scrapped the service just short of the opening. 

Have my views on this, but now that we are in the strange situation where it is illegal for foreigners to have a view, I shall leave it for locals to express.

Plastic still protected much of the internal areas.

If you look closely, you can see the original PNR logo underneath the new. They were delivered with the original logo, which was very soon replaced.

A rather pretty someone else I have not been able to identify either.
She has something to do with the railcar commissioning.

DMR-01 ITR-01 DMR-02 TESTING - PT 1

 

One of my more interesting trips to the Philippines was back in 2009.

At the time, the six new ROTEM sets were being delivered from South Korea, and initial trials were underway.

I was incredibly lucky to be allowed to witness some being offloaded from ships at the port, and also to take part in some speed trials on the south line in Manila.

The next two blog entries look at the first set (DMR-01 ITR-01 DMR-02) soon after arrival at Tutuban.

They were in the process of replacing the original PNR logo, which lasted only for a very short amount of time after they arrived.

I wish I did get a drive - but we had still to depart when this was taken.

:-)

In the process of replacing the original PNR branding with Filtrack.

Looking towards Tayuman Street.

No idea who this lovely lady was, but was told she was something to do with the new ROTEM sets and trials.

This station diagram has long interested me, many of the names were just not relevant.
