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.

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