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.

 918 (GE U15C 4753.2 of 1991) on the Bicol Commuter train is just north of Naga and making its way to Sipocot.
This was the second run of the day.

918 (GE U15C 4753.2 of 1991) on the Bicol Commuter train preparing to depart Nago on the morning run to Sipocot.


916 (GE U14C 41850 of 1979) being started in the shed at Lucena. 
This unit was a mystery for a while. She was actually built as 908 but renumbered after issues surrounding being attacked by a former military member who's son was killed by being somewhere he shouldn't have been and was killed :-(
Of course it was the locomotives fault apparently.
