Howdee, and welcome to the 25th year of the 'Philippine Railway Historical Society', a celebration of a quarter century of existence.
We will be looking back on those 25 years later on in the year, but most of this year will be spent looking back on our massive 2010 visit.
Due to the huge variety of photos taken during the 2010 trip, we will be separating the different subjects into various posts over the next 12 months.
Locomotives - Rollingstock - Infrastructure
Railcars
