- Cab ride on U15C 918 and 919 from Tayuman locomotive shed, to Tutuban station, then on to Caloocan Workshops in Manila.
At the time, trains on this section were quite rare and limited to transfers to the large workshops at Caloocan. All the sights and sounds of these beautiful General Electric locomotives, along with one scary near miss.
Back in 2010, and 2011, David Xuereb traveled to the Philippines with my good self. In between the usual duties expected of us, we presented our parts lineside as much as possible.
Mr Xuereb has generously allowed us to show all his video footage from these two trips. The series will take in the Philippine National Railways, LRT1 and MRT3, all of which we were given special permission to visit and photograph.
This first episode is a ride in the cab of the PNR's oldest locomotive, General Electric built U15C 902. The late afternoon Binan service used old second-hand passenger stock from Japan.
After the ride, there is a selection of still photos taken along the way
Crank your speakers, as this is a true soundfest.
Thanks to David Xuereb for allowing us to share your video with the world.

I love trains, I've taken the PNR up north to Tarlac in the 1960s, down south to Ligao , as a kid I would estambay at the Sta Mesa Station reading the stops chalked on a board all the way to Legaspi. I've since rode a few famous trains, Shanghai to Beijing, Moscow to St Persburg, Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Guangzhou to Kowloon , Los Angeles to Hollywood
You must have some truly amazing memories, both of the Philippine railways, and elsewhere
11:03 that is the reason why people living beside the railway should relocate in the best safe places.
Very true.
Thanks to everyone who was here for the premier tonight.
I was amazed to find 17 people viewing and many commenting.
It means so much. Thank you
Love your vids Brad! Ive been watching your PNR videos since.
Huge thanks mate. Always great to hear that someone enjoys these memories.
Cool video, nice to see the old line before the construction of the connector road. It excites me more to see the line revived till LA Union as is, than what is currently being constructed as the NSCR. But changes are also welcome.
It is amazing to see the changes since q1999.
During our 2004 visit it was thought the heavy rail system would soon be gone.
Now there is a huge amount of rail development going on.
The coming years will sure be interesting.
Fun to see so many cars that used to run on Japanese railroads in the first part of the video!
Thank you very much!
Hey dude this is pnr
@@heroflikepnr
I'm sorry that my English translation was inaccurate.
There are many railcars that used to run in Japan that are now running in the Philippines.
we can see them in this video.
Many thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed
American Locomotives + Japanese railcars
they should fix Tullahan rail bridge, and have at-grade extended up to Meycauayan.
Fully agree.
Also be nice to see a bus terminal there for northern provincial buses to be able to allow passenger modal change
Yehey Another PNR video, cant wait!
9:05 The South Rail Was Removed by Switch and North Rail is Not Removed Was Used for Metro North Commuter
I downloaded all of your PNR videos❤
Glad you enjoy mate
another exciting video ill be waiting waiting.
Many many thanks
I love your videos
Thank you so much mate.
It is always heartwarming to see people enjoy them.
Best wishes for 2024
Ooh Another PNR Video Time to get some fazchips and fizzy faz
Have to get to another one shortly.
It sound like leslie horn MSC
i could almost smell diesel and grease here... i was a vendor during my days at passi city train station... sadly, one of my friends and classmate (also a vendor) got his leg runover when he tried and missed the jump onto a train passenger carriage
Passi City on the Panay Railway?
@@NeathSpadge yes, sir
@@maxredman5628 you may know my late friend Eduard Labadia from Passi City.
He grew up around the railway at Passi City. His family still have a house along the old right of way in Passi.
We visited the area with him a couple of years ago.
He had a Facebook group covering the past and future of the line. I look after it now he has passed.
My god that man crosses the railway without noticing that there's a train behind him he might die on that occasion but i don't know how he couldn't hear the train's horn i think he might be deaf or he just doesn't care but these video could spread awareness about safety on railways especially here in the Philippines where our railway tracks is just beside the bahay.
Absolutely scared the heck out of me at the time :-(
He was so incredibly lucky.
Hard to really say what the reason was.
Good chance he was deaf. However, he did seem to respond to calls eventually.
Lots of noise around, with very few trains on that section. He may have just thought it background noise from trains on the south leg of the triangle there.
Many people get into their own world nowadays and don't concentrate on the world around them :-(
Thankfully he was able to jump quickly.
The train weehonk is good
Is the PNR still reviving the Bicol line all the way to the Bicol International Airport?
Wasn't aware of the airport part.
But I believe the south long haul project is to eventually get to Legaspi/Sorsogon.
Have had no update on the narrow gauge line beyond Ligao which just reopened.
1:38 DMU 3?
Hard to tell from the video and think I was too excited to think of taking notes :-)
Dapat lagyan NG bakod, ng MA wala mga abstruction Dyan to avoid accidents.
Sorry mate, I've no idea what that means.
jeez if that dude didnt have quick reflexes you probably might caught an accident on cam there I know its 2023 now so don't care if this is 1 year ago
Absolutely scared the heck out of me.
At the time, I was told by crew that fatalities were par of course. People just wandered in front of trains all the time :-(
But, besides some farm animals, I had never been witness to a fatality while on a train. This near miss had me shook up for a long time after :-(
What station is this next to caloocan is it c 3 or 5th avenue
North stations: Solis 5th ave
And asistio/caloocan workshop
And Sangandaan
And the last is Gov. pascual
Daming basura sa gilid at gitna NG rilis daming damo, nawala na yung mga graba sa ilalim at gilid NG railpad.
Sorry, no idea what that means either.
Nakakaawang PNR
Unfortunately I have no idea what that means :-(
Sorry.
@@NeathSpadge he said "Poor PNR"
E' un vero peccato, questa linea è un disastro. La linea è tenuta veramente male, in molti punti cresce erba che non fa vedere i binari, a volte ci sono alberelli che crescono dentro i binari , vengono costruite dentro i binari tende, casette, banchi da mercato e delle altre cose. Le persone fanno quello che vogliono, passeggiano sui binari, ci stanno seduti sopra o attraversano senza guardare anche se il guidatore della locomotiva suona in continuazione. A cosa serve spendere soldi per tenere una linea ferroviaria quando si vede tanto disinteresse a mantenerla e gente che non la merita e che fa quello che vuole ? E' un quadro desolante vedere come sono ridotte le ferrovie.
That does not even look like Tagalog.
I've no idea what it means.
