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 ON MAMBULO (BICOL, PHILIPPINES) - 2010



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

Line opened through Mambulo in 1929.

The Mambulo Viejo Flagstop is a minor railway station located in the town of Libmanan, Camarines Sur, within the Bicol region of the Philippines.
 It serves the Manila (currently truncated to Calamba) –Legazpi Line, a segment of the surviving Philippine National Railways (PNR) network that connects these two locations.
It is currently served daily by the Bicol Commuter Train between Naga and Sipocot.
Timetables on PNR Facebook page.

Not a huge amount of images in this one.
Was only a small location to be honest :-)
