RAILFA S GUIDE TO THE PHILIPPI ES

This guide is meant to share the latest information with people around the world who share an interest in Philippine railways. The intention is to occasionally grow the guide and issue updated versions electronically, while a smaller hard copy version will be sent to PNR people, railway archives and other places with similar interests. HOW CA YOU HELP Of course both this guide and our other publications require corrections, updates and any additional information. All our society publications rely on the generosity of people who willingly share information, and even funds, to benefit others. This publication will cover the latest information on the Philippine railways, while others in planning will cover the railways in a more historical content PRHS.Society@gmail.com All our work is voluntary and solely to promote the Philippine railways and its related hobby

PHILIPPI E RAILWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Starting as the Philippine Railways SIG in 1999, the society set up as a means to learn about the Philippines, share information and connect people with a similar interest. The group is mostly internet based, though we did go through a small period as an official group with the plan to help preserve railway items in the Philippines. With mass scrapping of the majority of rollingstock in 2010, the idea was set aside and we returned to our original purpose. Our occasional magazine/ Along Da Riles is the last link to these days and has taken on a life of its own. It continues solely through contributions by myself and a few significant other people who care. Our internet activities are vast. We are regularly emailed with enquiries both historical and of a more general nature and we are happy to help where possible. We have numerous websites accessible through: http://philippine-railways.blogspot.com We also have a number of Yahoogroup forums for sharing information and meeting others: PhilippineRailways LocoShed_Photography_Philippines Philippine_Modelling Philippine_Transportation Look forward to meeting you on a forum soon!
