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.

SPOTLIGHT: 108 (BALDWIN 52937 OF 1920) - BACOLOD (NEGROS OCC)

 

The third locomotive on our Bacolod visit was to be Baldwin #108 from the Central Azucarera de La Carlota mill.

We turned up at the entrance to Panaad Park, only to be told the place was closed. This was a little bit disappointing as the locomotive was less than a minute or two away, and time was in limited supply on the trip.

Just in case, a few photos was taken from the fence (below) which was obtained with a small tele lens.


If visiting, it is probably worth noting that the park is open from 4am - 9am and 4pm - 8pm seven days a week.

Unusual times for a park to be open, but if you arrive outside of these hours the image above is still possible.

LUTUCAN REVISITED - 2010

 






During 2010 we would return to Lutucan (Quezon Province) for a second visit.
I had enjoyed the spot so much in 2009, that it was on top of my bucket list for a return.
Actually, I have been back a few times since, with most of my southern railway adventures usually taking in this fascinating location.
Since the taking of these photos, this small station has undergone some restoration by PNR. The currently look will be covered on this blog down the track however, if you wish to see it on video now, check out our latest Lutucan Station video here. 
A link to our 2009 visit can be found below.

Railway crane had already been in town for some time for use in rebuilding the washed out bridge to the north of the station.
We previously got it there in 2009 before the two sides had been reconnected.
