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.

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.


Looking towards the driver's cab of DMR-02.
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.
