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.

MERRY XMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!


MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

While this blog is a brand new section of the 'Philippine Railways SIG' website, we are already enjoying regular visitors dropping by.

I have long wanted to have a regularly updated news, photos, historical and views section as part of the SIGs activities and a recent experimentation with a blog site revealed this as the perfect way to achieve it.

2007 has been a great year for the SIGs 'PhilippineRailways' chat form with a membership that continues to grow despite much tension caused by a member in the last quarter. Regardless of net gerbils, we went on to have the biggest month since starting back in 1999. A truly great efort, highlighting the great interest there is in that wonderful country and its railways.

We thank you for joining us and invite you to contribute any photos, scans of historical documents/tickets, chat on the forum and anything else you think may be of interest. Your help will ensure both this blog and the SIG website will be able to continue promoting interest in the railways of the Philippines and preserving their history.

Please email us philippinerailwayhistorical @ yahoo. com. ph (remove spaces).

Thanks again, have a great festive season and look forward to seeing you back here in 2008.


Regards

Brad
