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.

PHILIPPINE NATIONAL RAILWAY'S

NEW SWITCHERS ARE HERE!

Edited: 15:23 (12:23 Manila Time)  25/03/2020

We are, again, very proud to be able to show Philippine railway supporters some more photos of the new shunting locomotives that have just arrived in the Philippines (Port of Manila). 
It is believed that they will be used to relieve the current road switchers (shunters for my fellow Aussies) on yard duties.
That being the 5000 and remaining 2500 classes. Those operating are expected to go into mainline work, mostly perway in nature.

Be ready to see them busy riding the rails soon.

Maraming salamat to all in the Philippines who have made these new locomotives possible.

Terima kasih to INKA of Indonesia for your terrific work.

If wishing to share, which you are very welcome to do, please share via the website URL and not 'Rising Philippine' style.



This post may be updated with extra 
information in coming days.
Stay tuned.
