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.

Interested in all the diesel locomotives to serve the Manila Railroad, 
Philippine National Railways, and Panay Railways?
