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.

PLARIDEL STATION - QUEZON PROVINCE
5-1-2019

The municipality of Plaridel was not created until 1962 and it the smallest one in the province of Quezon. A lovely little town on the Maharlika Highway (main south road from Manila to Bicol), situated on the coastline of Lamon Bay.
In 2015 the population of Plaridel  was 10,935.

LIBMANAN STATION

Located down in the Bicol region of the Philippines, Libmanan is served by the twice daily 'Bicol Commuter Train (BCT)' from Naga to Sipocot.
  However, due to typhoon damage at the south end of the Libmanan bridge (bridge will appear in the next posting) just a few days before, services have been suspended until repairs can be affected.
Thankfully, the station building has thus far been able to avoid any modernisation and still looks nice and well cared for.








In the next part we shall look at the impressive bridge just south of the station.
We shall then move on to Naga.
