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.

2010: SHAW BOULEVARD - EDSA MANILA



2010

In this mediocre installment, we (MrX and myself) find ourselves photographing the MRT3 just south of the Shaw Boulevarde station.
A few years earlier I had noted the Shangri-La Plaza carpark and thought it would be worth running the gauntlet of security guards in an effort to obtain some images.
With MrX joining me, the challenge was accepted, and we headed for the lifts up to whatever level it was.
I can't say what it is like in 2024, but the guards were fine with us entering the lifts, while the two on patrol left alone when walking by.
Anyway, the effort was well worth it, with plenty of photos taken. Many of these appear below.

It is worth noting that since these photos were taken the fleet has undergone refurbishment and have all been renumbered in the 3000 series (3001-3073) in line with the other elevated operators.
