SOLIS SIGNALBOX

The railway signalbox is an endangered species in Manila, with only two still standing (Solis and Abad Santos). Another two (Yuseco and Caloocan) have existed since my first visit in 1999, but both have since been destroyed.

Solis is located on the north fork of the main junction for the south and the former north lines.

With Abad Santos (a RIHSPI) in a very bad state of repair, it is hoped that work can shortly start on saving it from further decay.

In recent years there have been proposals to preserve this very historic structure, primarily from the 'Manila Railroad Club', an offshoot of the former RIHSPI group.

Stay tuned and please consider subscribing if you like what you see here.

Shortly we shall look at Abad Santos box today, before heading south to Quezon and Laguna Provinces for more railway adventure.
