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.

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.

This was taken between Sangandaan and Gov. Pascual.

I love this shot of boom gate repairs being undertaken.
I think it is at Espana station.

Great shot that not only shows the little photographed FTI station, but captures all the passengers off a recently stopped train.
