Random Bollocks From A Semi-Retired Foamer!

PLARIDEL - PHOTOGRAPHIC SURVEY

December 5th 2019

  Earlier this year I was privileged to gain permission to access all railway locations on the south line of the Philippines to photograph them for historical purposes.  The future of the main south is unclear, with massive changes coming through the President's 'Build Build Build' program. Part of this includes a new electrified railway to Bicol, totally grade separated from roads and with far less curvature.  It has been said that the narrow gauge system will be retained for freight usage. However, only time will tell if this will be the case. The country does badly need it's rail freight back, while it would make sense to have it separated from the new, higher speed, standard gauge system.
  I, for one, look forward to seeing all this unfold.
