CTC-154 - CALOOCAN 3-2-2010

 

This blog entry is a little bit different.

Back in 2010, during a visit in February, we visited Caloocan Workshops and found a mass amount of scrapping going on. The last of the 7E type cars were gone, the last MCBP as well, and even the very last PNR-owned bus was in pieces.

Sadly, we were a bit late to cover much of this stock, and CTC-154 looked to be the last in the current rollingstock massacre.

For history's sake, below are some photos of CTC-154 in her final hours, followed by a couple of other shots taken the same day.

Can only just read the number here.

Thanks to Mark Chua for confirming.

Parts of CTC-154, and other carriages, awaiting disposal.

Twas pretty faded here also.

Always a sad scene to see. After years of faithful service to the country, CTC-154 starts the journey toward becoming a Kia.

Earlier, we had identified these for heritage preservation.

But alas, it was not to be.

The only identifiable remains of PNR's last bus.

See Bus article here.

A sad pile of parts from goodness knows what carriages.

Was too hot to spend too much time looking for identifiable parts.
