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.

2009 - LRT1 NORTH EXTENSION PROJECT - EDSA

 


Well people, we once again find ourselves at the last post for another year.

From Saturday I am taking a few weeks break from my 'Philippine Railway Historical Society' duties, to try and have festive rest and relaxation. Something that I don't find very easy.

Before said time off, I thought I would put up a few shots I took of the LRT1 extension being built back in 2009.

To all who read this blog, I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and that your 2023 is the best year ever.

Thank you so much for your support during 2022, whether it be reading this blog, watching our PRHS TV YouTube channel, or contributing to the various PRHS run transport groups.

You guys are all awesome.

Brad Peadon












Merry Xmas - Happy New Year

Much to look forward to in coming months.

PRHS Inspection


Last month, members of the PRHS had an inspection of the recently replaced Buendia station, before going to look over construction of the
replacement Dela Rosa station.
This was all part of a bigger day out. All of this will be
covered on this blogsite shortly.
I would like to thank the 'Philippine National Railways' for their kindness and support of this great hobby.
