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.

LRT2 DEPOT VISIT - 2010 - PART 2

 


Again we return to 2010 as the process of going through all the photos of that trip continues.

During this trip, the PRHS was lucky to have been granted permission to inspect the LRT2 depot in Santolan (Pasig, Metro Manila).

The inspection took us through the yard, workshop, and control room. It was a very interesting look behind the scenes of this busy elevated Manila railway.

This is the first of a two part series looking at this important location on the day of our visit.

The LRT2 opened from Santolan to Recto in 2003, the extended to Antipolo in 2001.
