Don't hold us hostage my friend! :lol:

Our Congressman (I hope) is still fighting for SLEx Extension.

In Lucena, PNR is a given, while we still have to fight for SLEx. So I think SLEx should be given more emphasis than PNR!

PS. I'm not my ownself right now and just trying to dissappoint and contradict you! :lol:

Good thing, kasama talaga yung TR4 sa contract, mabagal lang kasing gumawa yung contractor. But it doesnt mean, they can't award this to others. At least for now, wala nang ibang sunod na gagawin sa SLEX pagkatapos ng Phase III, kundi yung Sto.Tomas to Lucena na.

Delayed construction of SLEX to be cut by P4 Billion (http://www.congress.gov.ph/press/details.php?pressid=3092)
18 February 2009 10:10:36 AM
Writer: Office of Rep. Hermilando Mandanas

The Special Committee on Southern Tagalog Development (COMSTAD) of the House of Representatives passed a resolution proposing amendments to the contract between the Republic of the Philippines and the South Luzon Tollway Corporation (SLTC), reducing it from P11 Billion to P7 Billion. SLTC is the joint venture corporation between Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) and a Malaysian company, MTD Capital Berhad. COMSTAD, chaired by Rep. Hermilando I. Mandanas, noted the delay in the construction of the Alabang viaduct and the improvement of South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). Rep. Proceso Alcala presented the motion to reduce the contract by removing the Calamba-Lucena Section. SLTC has failed to begin the construction, which is estimated to cost another P4 Billion. The Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) itself noted that SLTC has failed to complete the project as scheduled. TRB oversees the construction works on SLEX.

Based on a Supplemental Toll Operating Agreement signed by SLTC and TRB in February 2006, the rehabilitation of SLEX has four segments: TR1, retrofitting and widening of the old Alabang viaduct; TR2, widening of the Alabang-Calamba segment; TR3, Calamba-Sto. Tomas segment, and TR4, extension of the highway from Sto. Tomas to Lucena City. However, because of delays since the beginning of the project in May 2006, TR1, TR2, and TR3 remain uncompleted, to the prejudice of the general public.

According to Rep. Alcala, TR4 should be removed from the contract with SLTC because of its failure to finish the project on time. The members of the Committee agreed with him. Rep. Mandanas directed the president of SLTC and the Executive Director TRB, Manuel G. Imperial to explain the delays and submit pertinent documents on the project.

I was really planning for that trip para naman makapag relax ako. And isa pa...mahilig ako sa trains. Medyo takot lang din ako magtake ng pictures sa loob..hehe..

And another thing....san ka makakakita ng fare na 16 or 18 pesos lang papuntang Alabang...hehe..

The cheapest ride that can bring you to Alabang. Medyo crowded po yung tren na biyaheng Binan. Most of them, galing sa trabaho pauwi na. Sabi nga ni Daily Commuter, buhusan na lang sila ng arina, eh.... sinapot na sila.:lol: sa dami ng pasahero.

The amount of Php4B might not be enough for SLEx to Lucena. I dont think the ROW is already secured.

I would rather spend the Php4B in constructing simple local train stations and additional 2 tracks from existing (Calamba-Lucena), and have a local train ply the route (say, in every 10 minute interval).

Project for this has government counterpart by way of securing right of ways. This is usually included in the budget and I think they're working on it now in advance to prevent delays. (Screwed up once in ROW acquision between Calamba and Sto. Tomas)

4B? That would be nice for PNR. :cheers:

Last time I was there it was just a dirt patch with a nearly totally demolished Caloocan station.
Has anything changed?

Marco, yung umbok pala ng lupa (embankment) dun sa may malapit sa veritas ay trial and this would be the test site. All embankment will be supported by gravel pile. It may take a little bit longer to put pile gravel but once in place, it will be easy to dump it with soil. Though time is nemisis for this, but settlement for the soil is early thus they could still be able to follow the timelines. When I went to Malolos, pile graveling extends about 1 km from that umbok going to Guiginto. After the umbok, everything will be under pile bored.

OT: She wants to initiate cha-cha but she is leaving this task to Congress. Its up to the Congress to explain to the public about cha-cha. Most of us here don't have idea about charter change. But it is just fair to allow them to tackle cha-cha so that we can have clear view of the amendments. The problem here is that most of the Filipinos have no idea with charter change.

OT: Even though these "good" politicians explain what cha-cha is to Filipinos, a lot (if not, most) Filipinos would not believe it, because it will sound like a simple politics' propaganda... They should crawl a small hype on regular Filipinos and let those typical Pinoys do the talking... Right?

^^Pag standard gauge na ang PNR.. baka puwede pa.. :lol::lol:

This can be possible if - and only IF - two very important changes are made:
1. Rail gauge is unified to standard gauge (4 ft, 8.5 in = 1435 mm). Our LRT/MRT lines are of standard gauge, while PNR is unfortunately of cape gauge (3 ft, 6 in = 1067 mm).
2. Tutuban yard is equipped with rectifiers for power, and the system the cars will run on are likewise fitted with the respective 750v DC overhead catenaries. (750v DC - I think - is the power rating on Yellow LRT; not sure though about Purple LRT and Blue MRT; presumably similar but I need info to verify that.)

Speaking of LRT/MRT, PNR, and Northrail integrations, no one I know has thought of this but: what do you think about extending the Purple LRT southward to reach Tutuban / Divisoria? I noticed that it currently ends at Recto / Carriedo, which is near Abad Santos - after crossing it, you're in Tutuban Centermall / Divisoria area. That would be a big convenience connecting from the LRT system to PNR: all you have to do is disembark at "Tutuban / Divisoria Station" (as it could be named); that in turn could connect by elevated walkway to some part of Tutuban Centermall, which you walk through, and minutes later, you're at the Tutuban PNR Terminal!

Sir, you probably has the great point here. A few more years would end the Tutuban Mall and the PNR for the lease of the PNR lot (Tutuban Central Terminal). That is a very good idea Sir.

They want to change the constitution thru Constitutional Assembly or thru Charter Change. Specifically they want to change from Presidential form of Government to Parliamentary. But right now there is a Bill in Congress that wants to amend the Economic Provision on our Constitution (Read: Taking out the limit on Land foreign ownership.)

Many people, but I think not the majority, does not want this bill because they are fed by some militants and traditional politician and THE MEDIA, that if they will open the pandoras box (w/c is the constitution) for amendements, anything can happen including the extension on the term limits of the government official especially that of the President.

But right now there is a Bill in Congress that wants to amend the Economic Provision on our Constitution (Read: Taking out the limit on Land foreign ownership.)

Many people, but I think not the majority, does not want this bill because they are fed by some militants and traditional politician and THE MEDIA, that if they will open the pandoras box (w/c is the constitution) for amendements, anything can happen including the extension on the term limits of the government official especially that of the President.

Many thanks for explaining.
I would love a change that would allow me to fully own a house. Only because I want to spend more time in this wonderful, wonderful country.
However I can also see a downside.
Salamat.

I see, now I know where exactly the first Pylon will start before the Malolos Center approach. I just forget the place becuase the corner where I am standanding was actually the first crossing before I reach Malolos Flyover. After than, no more bored piles. We can now conclude that viaduct will stretch up to Longos subdivisions.

OT: She wants to initiate cha-cha but she is leaving this task to Congress. Its up to the Congress to explain to the public about cha-cha. Most of us here don't have idea about charter change. But it is just fair to allow them to tackle cha-cha so that we can have clear view of the amendments. The problem here is that most of the Filipinos have no idea with charter change.

This can be possible if - and only IF - two very important changes are made:
1. Rail gauge is unified to standard gauge (4 ft, 8.5 in = 1435 mm). Our LRT/MRT lines are of standard gauge, while PNR is unfortunately of cape gauge (3 ft, 6 in = 1067 mm).
2. Tutuban yard is equipped with rectifiers for power, and the system the cars will run on are likewise fitted with the respective 750v DC overhead catenaries. (750v DC - I think - is the power rating on Yellow LRT; not sure though about Purple LRT and Blue MRT; presumably similar but I need info to verify that.)

Speaking of LRT/MRT, PNR, and Northrail integrations, no one I know has thought of this but: what do you think about extending the Purple LRT southward to reach Tutuban / Divisoria? I noticed that it currently ends at Recto / Carriedo, which is near Abad Santos - after crossing it, you're in Tutuban Centermall / Divisoria area. That would be a big convenience connecting from the LRT system to PNR: all you have to do is disembark at "Tutuban / Divisoria Station" (as it could be named); that in turn could connect by elevated walkway to some part of Tutuban Centermall, which you walk through, and minutes later, you're at the Tutuban PNR Terminal!

Inputs and thoughts, anyone?

That's really a good plan. In fact I think LRT 2 can be extended all the way to the Port Area. I really don't understand why the line currently does not end at Divisoria which has so many people. Our mass transit system is really suffering from poor planning. Just look at the ugly footbridges over the at grade sections of MRT. Tsk

I don't think it would happen that way. Derails are very common in tracks that has soft soil foundations underneath it. Most of the derails happens with tracks misaligned becuase of the foundations instability. Thats why in order to avoid this, Northrail is impmenting soil treatment to make the base of the embankment more stable thus quick settlement of the embankment. Ung umbok, tinitest nila how many days it will reach its full strength. from the day of filling. Determining this would enable them to lay the rail ties and tracks after filling the embankment with soil.

Wheel of Steel, that's MY video! (My screen name on YouTube is "powerpuffsouthpark".) I've been meaning to put it up here myself but I didn't know how to post YouTube videos on SSC - until now. Thanks for doing it for me!

Anyway, I was on board that train - Train 407 from Tutuban to Binan. My reason for taking the rare opportunity to ride the PNR was really to check out for myself the rehab work being done in and around the PNR System - including inside Tutuban Yard. (Of course, unless you're an employee of PNR or a member of RIHSPI, the only way to see what's inside the yard is to ride an outbound train - that's exactly what I did.) And by the way, while I was there, I saw a newly-arrived DMU inside the shed still wrapped in shipping shrink-wrap - but it was visually blocked from my view by another parked trainset.

I shot this video - using my cellphone (sorry for the bad quality) - immediately after I got off - at Buendia. Locomotive 915 is one of the older-built GE U14Cs in service with PNR - mostly built between 1978-79 (according to Philippine Fleetlist Blogspot), but those iron horses are still pretty tough and reliable (LOVE the sound of that horn, by the way)...

Thanks again for posting the video here on SSC for me.

The tracks we see in Bicutan are the one built by John Holland several years ago. Around early 1990s, PNR had a major repair of the tracks from Espanya to as far as Calamba. It involves the replaement of wood ties to concrete and fencing of the lines toward Alabang.

Does PNR have this equipment(tamper) to align the rails straight guided by a laser half a mile away and at the same time, secure the track ties by vibrating the ballast(graba). This equipment saves a lot manpower and time. I don't know how to copy the photo.

I think I saw that thing the other night during traffic at SLEX near C-5. I was thinking "What the hell was that?" It looked like some new form of transport, maintenance equipment pala.

^^BASURAAAAAA!!!

The gap should be no more than half inch to meet allowable safe passage. I think this track is not in service yet because the pair of 4 holes splice bars are not bolted together. The gap is caused by the temporary bolt of the splice bar for rail alignment purpose or let a work train to pass thru but not advisable.
The basura is neglectable. Once ballast are drop and the track tamped, it be be crash to bits.

That track is being used by PNR. Since its the only track left going to Tutuban. I also noticed that there is only one bolt attached to it.

It is waiting for an accident to happen. This will never be allowed in my job at the NYC transit.:ohno: Does PNR have track walkers doing visual inspection who walks in pairs. They alternate in watching for incoming train while carrying a jerry hammer and the other is carrying a track wrench. Every so often calls their office and train dispatcher on the line where they at,for their locations and head counts since a lot of people doing visual inspection.

This should be taken seriously. Even regular rail breaks at the middle. That is why there is 1.5 Volts AC or DC in both rails called track circuit so as to detect any broken rails and movements where they are at showing a moving red lights on the board.

PNR can run tracks without clips, gaps with more than 4 inces, sunked ties. All of these have been tried and tested here in PNR for 20 years together with the risky presence of squatters. I think track you've seen are so far the best already. :)

LRTA is practicing that system. I don't know if PNR have an inspection team as well.You're right. PNR should impose a stricter rule for safety and security. No more "puwede na yan" mentality. Safety of the passenger is at stake if a train derailed at 80km/h.

They will have maintenance routine for their tracks. Thats for sure. Removing the squattes is just one of several options to safeguard the tracks. There are so many possible things to happen especially the tracks are lying at - grade. Necessary things should always be done to ensure that the tracks are in good condition.

A gap of 4" on a rail at a splice bar or joint is a red flag. That is an immediate stop and stay. Train that is caught in between station will have to wait for motor instructor in person to move forward or another train will couple to the train and do a reverse run back to the nearest station, discharge the passengers and close the track until the track rail gap is fixed. The track department will cut the rail back some more to a minimum of 9 feet or replace the whole rail itself. The procedure is the length of the rail between splice bars is no less than 9 feet. The reason is, no two axles of the shortest train in the system will be in the same rail.

These rules were implemented by the federal government and not by the transit. The transit gave a year notice before it was enforced to give time for the users to come clean. Then every single employees 34,000 hourly employees of the subway and surface bus drivers were given marching orders to the main clinic for urine collection, 5 persons per department per tour.
Akala ko may sale, dahil ang daming mga tao naka tayo sa labas which the reception room has 50 seats.:ohno: Well, at least naka overtime halos lahat dahil sa haba nang pila. They authorized the other 6 satellite clinics to do the urine collection, with some private medical group to assist and secure the samples.

The magazine covers anything to do with rail in this country, whether that is PNR, Northrail, MRT/LRT, sugar/mining/timber railways or trams. We need any sort of info,photos,stories and documents on same.

i didn't know that..anyways... nilabas naman nila kanina eh.. nagtest run sila, and then on monday magttest-run ulit.. so why hide it to the public? para ba suspense? i thnk mas maganda to show what they've got right now, and that's the new PNR reborn.

Agree!! Kaya nga pino promote natin ang PNR para lahat ng tao malaman na buhay na muli ang PNR tapos itatago natin yan. Besides.. pag tinago mo yan baka sabihin pa ng media na may anomalyang nangyayari.:banana:

Actually, their concern is more on the livery and new identity rather than the new DMUs. But again, that's no longer an issue. :lol:

We're just lucky that the PNR people don't know this forum. ;)

^^Hindi puwedeng basta basta na lang tambakan ng graba. Masyado malambot ang lupa. Kailangan i bulldozer muna para maalis ang mga putik at malambot na lupa. Tsaka tambakan ng sub-ballast then lagyan ng ballast materials.

Di lang yan ang may gap sa riles. Marami kaming nakita na may gap din na ganyan. At yung iba mas malala pa dyan.

yup they are letting the Pinoy motormen drive the new DMU under the supervision and guidance of korean inspectors.. they also inspect the brakes,as well as the maximum speed of up to 80kph

tpos major problem dw when crossing the streets dhil daw ung mga nagbabantay at nagbaba ng lever post sa mga crossing eh kukupad kupad, palapit na ung tren di pa din binababa.. akala nila mabagal pa din ang DMU hahaha

Tollways for progress

By Artemio V. Panganiban
Philippine Daily Inquirer

WHEN President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. (MPTC) chair Manuel V. Pangilinan recently unveiled the P38-billion MPTC road network project, they were celebrating not only Arroyo’s 62nd birthday but also the largest private toll road investment in the Philippines.

Confidence in the future. The MPTC project demonstrates a deep confidence in the resiliency of the economy and a vote of confidence in its future, even when the Philippines – to quote Romulo Virola, secretary general of the National Statistical Coordination Board – “is teetering into recession.”

Indeed, this infrastructure commitment will help spur the economy on the heels of a measly .4 percent GDP growth of our country during the first quarter of this year, the worst result – in seasonally adjusted terms – since the country’s downturn in decades. It will create 107,000 jobs during the five-year construction period.

This P38 billion will be used by MPTC, first, in building a P1.2 billion, toll-free, four-lane stretch to connect Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City to the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) entry in Valenzuela City. Construction is on going and is expected to be finished in April 2010. Travel time from North Avenue, QC to Valenzuela will be cut to only 15 minutes. MPTC will not collect tolls for this segment in exchange for a seven-year extension of its NLEX franchise from 2030 to 2037.

Second, MPTC will construct a P10 billion, 3-kilometer turnpike connecting the NLEX to the MacArthur Highway in Valenzuela plus a 5-kilometer elevated extension to the Port Area in Manila, thereby facilitating people and cargo traffic between the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport and the pier area in Manila. Construction of this portion will begin in early 2010.

The third will be a P16-billion, 13-km, totally elevated skyway over the existing railway tracts, connecting the NLEx with the South Luzon Expressway (SLEx) in Buendia, Makati. A Memorandum of Agreement between the MPTC and the state-owned Philippine National Railways to allow the use of the airspace above the PNR rails was inked early this year. This NLEx-SLEx Skyway Connector will cut travel time between the two great highways to only 15 minutes.

Fourth, MPTC is now in final negotiation with Citra Metro Manila Tollways Corp. to increase its minority stake in the SLEx so it could help hasten the construction of the Skyway between Bicutan and Alabang, at an estimated cost of P10 billion.

NLEx and SCTEx. In August last year, Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC), the parent firm of MPTC, acquired a controlling 67 percent stake in the NLEx from the First Philippine Holdings Corp. and Benpres Holdings Corp. for P12.3 billion.

NLEx is the most modern tollway here, at par with international standards. Its 48 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, strategically placed along its 92-km span, monitor traffic and detect over-speeding vehicles all the time. It also operates 381 CCTVs showing all transactions in all tollbooths 24 hours daily.

The NLEx connects with the new Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) over which it has an operations and maintenance contract. The

SCTEx, in turn, links the modern Subic Bay International Container Port, which was finished in July 2007, and the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport in Clark into a logistical hub.

Other tollway projects being eyed by MPTC and other companies are the extension of the NLEx to La Union; the connection of the Star Expressway in Batangas to the SLEx and its extension to Bauan, Batangas; as well as the extension of the Coastal Expressway along Manila Bay, all the way to Nasugbu, Batangas, via the tourist havens of Hamilo Coast and Punta Fuego.

On a purely commercial basis, these long-term projects may not be viable due to insufficient motorist traffic. However, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, which funded both the

SCTEx and the Subic Port, has shown willingness to finance the Tarlac to La Union expressway at the same concessionary terms. A private consortium of Filipino contractors has also expressed interest to finance, construct and operate it.

“Three wells” and “sp.” To show how serious MPTC is in modernizing Philippine highways, it has brought – in cooperation with its French partner, the Egis Group – the officers and board directors of its affiliates (Manila North Tollways Corp. and Tollways Management Corp.) to France to observe how super expressways are operated. Egis is one of the biggest expressway operators in Europe.

Led by MPTC president Ramoncito Fernandez, expressway enthusiasts – including me –saw how well engineered, well-constructed and well-maintained tollways result in safe and pleasurable motoring. More important, the “three wells” and the inseparable “sp” spread progress to the whole country. Tollways are the arteries of the nation. When healthy and smooth, they bring nutrients and strength to the body politic. But when neglected and clogged, they lead to decay and death.

From Paris non-stop to Lyon, we rode the TGV trains. At 350 km per hour (kph) cruising speed, they are the fastest things on wheels. (The Maglev in Shanghai, which zooms up to 501 kph, does not run on wheels; it levitates above its tracks.) We were whisked to Lyon (about the same distance as Manila to Laoag) in two hours. Indeed, MPTC should also invest in super trains to complement its tollways. But that’s another story deserving a full column someday.

mukhang didilim sa PNR! :nuts: :lol:
