Caloocan Part 7
Apologies for it taking so long to get around to this latest Caloocan installment, there has been a lot of Philippine hobby stuff going on behind the scenes and that has been taking up a lot of my time.
Ultimately, we hope these developments will be worth it for our local railfan hobby.

Due to the popularity of historic documents in an earlier installment, we have included some here again. We also have a look at the workshop back in 2009

The 'Passenger Car Division Office' inside Caloocan Workshops.
This office was later demolished and removed.

U14C General Electric locomotive 911.
She still exists in 2020, but is unlikely to be reactivated.

U10B General Electric 2518 has since been scrapped.

Meet and greet with Eng Besmonte at Caloocan Workshops.
Gave him a copy of our latest book.

A couple more images of the impressive machine shop area of the workshops.

This building was to the east of the smaller workshop at Caloocan.
It was once proposed as a possible location for a rail heritage base.

Postcards

The 'Philippine Railway Historical Society' has long aimed to promote the hobby, and local fans efforts to do the same.
We believe there is far more to the future of the Philippine railway hobby than just posts on Facebook. Together, we will continue to grow the hobby much further than it is today.
PRHS member, Gabriel Gutirrez, is certainly one of the Philippines leading photographers, his amazing photography being regularly, and generously, shared on the PRHS group and publications.
The rail hobby has been growing for 21 years now, and now we are beginning to see the emergence of the railfan hobby industry. The other week it was Fremel's drawings, while I am aware of something bigger beginning in the coming year or two.

  Today it is Gabriel's new postcards.
He recently announced the first in a new line of postcards covering Manila railway topics. Each postcard being printed on glossy photo paper.

Minimum of 8pcs for postcard size = 50php each

Minimum of 4pcs for A4 size = 100php each

Stay tuned, there is a lot more behind the scenes hobby work going on right now.
