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.

9003 DETAIL SHOTS - FOR MODELLERS & LOCO FANS.

 


The distinctive looking 9000 class have been a part of the 'Philippine National Railways' scene for a couple of years now, becoming a regular feature of passenger trains around Manila, and further afield in the province of Quezon.  

They have even found themselves to be the topic of scratch building by local railway modellers.

This was the first time I got near one of these interesting locomotives, so the opportunity was taken to take a selection of detail shots for the modellers and loco fans alike.

With the Metro Manila heavy rail operations to close for 5 years, this sort of scene will be lost for some time.
