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
Also rail employees - railfans - passengers.
If you find an interest in non-railways topics in the Philippines, you are invited to check out our
Here we cover all different topics from around the Philippines and elsewhere, and have the huge 'Jeepney 3000' project still ongoing.

Polangui Railway Station is a historic train stop located in Polangui, a municipality in the province of Albay, part of the Bicol Region in the Philippines. It is part of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) South Main Line and serves as one of the stops for the Bicol Commuter service, which connects the cities of Naga and Legazpi. The station was originally inaugurated in November 1914 as part of what was then known as the Legazpi Division Line.
In more recent years, the station building was reconstructed and reopened in September 2015 to support the revived Bicol Commuter services. However, a planned repair project in 2019 was deferred due to budget constraints, which has unfortunately led to some deterioration of the facility.
Despite these challenges, Polangui Station remains in operation and continues to serve passengers traveling along the Bicol Commuter route. The station is conveniently located just off the Daang Maharlika Highway in the Santicon area of Polangui, making it accessible for commuters and travelers alike.
