2023: PNR/PANAY ALL TIME LOCOMOTIVE FLEETLIST

 

Yes It's 'FREE' Like All PRHS Publications.

We have finally updated our popular all time Philippine National Railways (and Panay Railway) diesel fleetlist.

Since our last update, there has been numerous changes, not the least of which was the arrival of two new locomotive types.

Can you help us?

We are currently working with a couple of heritage entities with an aim to try to compile as much known information on 'Philippine National Railways' locomotives and rollingstock.

Over the years there has been a huge amount of information shared on various PRHS groups, forums and websites. Due to the nature of the internet, it will all likely be eventually lost.

While much of the railfan hobby there now concentrates on destroying each other, and all that we built, we feel that trying to get all this together for future researchers is a far more important use of our time resources.

At this time we are aiming to start with the 900, 2500 and 5000 classes. 

We seek any sort of historical information, notes, photos, sightings, especially for the years prior to 1999.

SPOTLIGHT: LUCENA SHED 2009

 

Time for a look at the Lucena Shed back in 2009.

Note that these shots are now quite historic, with the structure having an extensive refurbishment in recent years. We returned for a look at this work during August last year, the results of which will appear on the blog at a later date.

Wrecker Car. I am not entirely sure of this vehicles official designation or history. Recent talks with Mark Chua suggests that it does not appear in an 80s inventory list, nor does it appear in the one I have from the early 90s.

I am often a source of fascination for local railway kids :-)

Still a source of fascination :-).

Once somewhat of a mystery, U14C #916 (formerly #908) sits in Lucena Shed. We were later treated to the sight/sound of them starting the ol girl up.

#916 (GE 41850 of 1979) is currently in DESCO for a rebuild.
