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.

TIAONG STATION - REMAINS - 2009



 

1912: Line opened to Tiaong.

1913: Opened from Tiaong to Lucena

Tiaong is a railway station in the Province of Quezon (Philippines). While the station currently sees four services daily to San Pablo (soon to extend to Calamba) and Lucena, most of the station itself has been removed and current services are served by small stairs.

Timetable below.



This was my first visit to Tiaong, well, that's if you don't count screaming through in the rear of a Raymond Transportation bus being driven by a crazy man :-)

Alas, unlike other locations explored on the trip, there was very little left of Tiaong station. However, on the flip side, there was a lot more than in many other locations
