This one gets me particularly excited.
Nigel Menzies got this outstanding shot of Lopez Sugar #10 on Negros Island.
I could kick myself that I never got down there to see this in action.

This is the outstanding Palicpic Ayungin Bridge.

Years ago, John Holland sent me a photo of a 1620 class passing over this bridge. Since that time, I have long dreamt of getting a PNR train passing over it, with the Mayon Volcano nice and clear like this.

Enrile Bridge, Comon, Travesia - Benjamin Saga

Old National Highway Bridge.

Near SM City Sta Rosa.

This one sure gets the stunning lighting award

Alanoras Bridge.

Outstanding shot of a new locomotive passing over the Concordia Bridge.

It is of particular interest as it is not the usual front 3/4 photo that we normally see of these things.

We cover the heavy and light rail systems, the sugarcane, mining and timber operations as well.
If you have anything that we can share with others and further this wonderful hobby, please email us.

PACO CREEK BRIDGE

 

Been ferreting through the PRHS archive again and came across this information on the Paco Creek bridge ( Manila ) that was donated some time back.
This is one of many bridges that were part of the 'Northrail - Southrail Linkage Project' being done by 

'Hanjin Heavy Industries'.
We thank the person who made the donation (they wish to remain anonymous). 

Hope these are of interest. 

Happy to put more similar stuff up should there be interest.
We are always interested in hearing from anyone who would be willing to share any railway related paperwork of interest. We will respect any privacy requested.

Creek Bridges - Sucat To Alabang

Howdee all, as part of my plans to build a model railway based on Manila, I asked members of the various forums for photos of the creek crossings.

Thanks to Gat Gontok of the Philippine Railways Railfans Group who actually got up pre-dawn to help me (maraming salamat Gat) I ahve got some great ideas for the proposed canal on the layout.

The following is a few examples of the shots he sent.
More will be on our new PRHS Modelling Group website, which is currently available through our similar Aussie groups site.

I hope these are of interest to people - they were for me.
