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
This post marks the second installment of random rolling stock photographs taken in 2010. Interestingly, while back home I've always been more interested in locomotives, infrastructure, and to some extent railcars, my time in the Philippines has sparked a growing fascination with rolling stock. I've set myself the goal of capturing photos of every surviving piece since 2004.
Occasionally, more historic rolling stock makes appearances on our blog or in discussions on our main members forum.

The videos above showcase the old Caloocan Workshops, an integral part of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) infrastructure, which first opened its doors in 1906. Since its inception, this facility has played a pivotal role in the maintenance, repair, and construction of rolling stock, crucially supporting the operations of the railway network in the Philippines, especially in the greater Manila area.
Over the years, the workshops have adapted to meet the evolving needs of the PNR, making significant contributions to the development and upkeep of the country's railway infrastructure. However, with the gradual reduction of the railway system's scale, the prominence of the Caloocan Workshops has also diminished.

I asked for a socket set.
Sadly it was misunderstood and I got a set of socks.
I can't even get my toes in the 10mm.
