^^eto ang nangyari kanina mga 5:30pm nakatakbo din ang cx-107 na trouble shoot din kasi ayaw nga magbukas ng pinto. Nagtanong ako sa mga pasahero na nasa loob ng cx 107 confirmed na 3:30pm pa daw sila umalis ng tutuban at pagdating ng vito cruz tumigil ang tren at ayaw ng bumukas ang pintuan ng tren. Dahil sa abala cancel na ang trip ng cx-109 at cx-110^^

Naisip ko baka DMU01 ang bumigay, yun pala DMU03. Akala ko babatakin sha ng Blue Whale para makabalik ng Tutuban kaya nagbus nalang ako. Nagulat ako pag dating ng Villamor/ Nichols nabusina ang DMU03, naisip ko ang bilis naman nakalusot ng CX 109. Yun pala si CX 107 na uber delayed na.

Tapos sabi ng konduktor ng T-407 sa mga ticket seller sa Buendia meh byahe padaw CX 109 at 110 kahit gabi na. Eventually cancelled din pala.

Mahaba haba tuloy ang kwentuhan kanina sa Buendia Station :D Happs bumibigay nadin ang peborit nating DMU. Baka kailangan nang maduguan ulit :lol:

^^senyales lang yan na kailangan na talaga tapusin ang mga riles at seryosohin ng PNR ang pag maintain ng mga DMU. Di yung damit lang sila ng gamit.

Kung ma aayos lahat ng riles. Di na tayo magti tyaga sa tatlong tren lang. Puwede nang pa byahihin ang iba pang mga DMU. At puwede nang maki sabayan sina blue whale sa white sharks.

Makikita mo na rin kung anung tren ang mas tatangkilikin ng masang pinoy.

Wala na, parang wala nang pag-asa pati yung mga bagong trains. :ohno:

^^Habang may buhay may pag-asa. Kailangan lang talaga ng proper training ng PNR personnel sa pag troubleshoot ng mga DMU.

Troubleshoot lang na alam nila pag tumirik ang tren ay hilahin agad pabalik ng Tutuban. :lol:

^^Nung unang beses palang na nag txt si Mr. Bee Cool feeling ko talaga si DMU03 na yon eh. Bago kasi mangyari yan CX110 din yon. Naka amoy ako sa ITR ng parang may nasusunog o overheat. At habang bumibiyahe umaabot na yung amoy sa dulong coach. Tuwing bubukas ang pintuan pumapasok sa loob ng coach yung amoy sunog. Pero wala silang ginawa. Hindi nga nila pinapansin eh.

Siguro nasanay na sila sa amoy ng blue whale na parang may nasusunog na preno lagi. Kaya akala nila normal lang din sa DMU ito.. :lol:

^^Thanks for the update.

PNR Station na, sports complex pa! :lol::lol: Dyan ba gaganapin ang liga ng Naga? Hehehe... :nuts::nuts::nuts:

hello Pinoy railfans! :)

hello Sir Happy Happs, Sir D.C., Sir absinthe at sa lahat lahat na! :)

@ Sir Happy Happs, nice photos of the Blue Whales. bale natutulog lang ba sila sa shed nila sa Tutuban? may plans ba na bigyan sila ng repairs or upgrades at nang muli silang tumakbo?

i still wish to see the Blue Whales wearing their old blue livery and the old PNR logo. "signature" color na kasi ng Blue Whales yung livery na ganun at yung lumang PNR logo. :D

^^Sa tingin ko lang... Wala silang planong ayusin mga yan. Yung shed nga ng mga Blue Whales hindi nila nililinis. Naglilimahid na sa maduming langis. Yung mga rampa nga na kahoy ay nabubulok na. Kailangan talaga i-renovate yang shed ng bluewhales, pati na rin dapat ang mga bluewhales ay i-overhaul na para naman may pamalit sa mga DMU.

Isa pa sa nakakaligtaan natin ay ang Caloocan Yard. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ito nakakatikim ng pag-renovate. Naging gubat na nga sa tagal na hindi na aayos. :ohno::ohno:

Buti pa ang Naga may bagong "sports complex". Sana ayusin din nila ng ganyan ang Caloocan Yard. Hindi mabubuo ang linkage kung wala ang Caloocan Yard!!!

I think PNR fans should be patient with the rehab.

Baka kasi kulang ang pera kaya, inuuna dapat na mauna.

Well, if they were able to rehab the rolling stocks in Naga sana naman yung sa Manila din para mawala na talaga yung image na bulok ang PNR which is definitely not true today.

partly true siguro. Kasi from the pictures posted by Bobbymay74, kita sa pictures yung mga gi shhet tsaka pangwelding.

Anyway, hanggat wala pang malaking pera ang PNR, yan muna pansamantala para sa akin.

Importante muna siguro, unahin mga riles, tulay at istasyon...kapag tumakbo na tren, kimita ang PNR, baka naman nakaipon ng pera at makabili ng kahit second-hand na puedeng i-refurbished uli ng mga Pinoy bus builders like sta rosa at almazora.

Ang mga DMU ay byaheng Caloocan - Alabang v.v. lamang. Refurbished coach ang babyahe hanggang sa Calamba. Sana nga ay mapa AC ulit ang mga ito. Mas gusto ko ang COMMEX kehza sa DMU.

PNR train bogs down in inaugural run
By Juan Escandor Jr., Pons Caudilla
Philippine Daily Inquirer

NAGA CITY, Philippines - It took more than five hours for the commuter train of the Philippine National Railways to travel through the 80-kilometer stretch (not 377 km as earlier reported) in its inaugural run, on Wednesday.

And before it could embark on another trip, the old engines of the train, which traveled from Tagkawayan, Quezon, to Naga City, in Camarines Sur, bogged down.

Leaving Tagkawayan station at about 5 a.m., the commuter train, which was expected to arrive at 9 a.m. at the Naga PNR Station, came an hour late.

Nevertheless, the train was welcomed here by the excited crowd, who had not been served by the PNR, for three years.

The PNR has scheduled the Tagkawayan-Naga, Naga-Ligao, Ligao-Naga, and Naga-Tagkawayan trips.

But before the commuter train could leave this city to its final Bicol destination in Ligao City in Albay, the locomotives broke down and were sent to the shop for repair.

"The engines are old so they shut down," locomotive operator Romeo Caucil told the Daily Inquirer.

Confident of the feat to beat the deadline of running the train not later than the Peñafrancia Fiesta this week, the PNR management decided to send back the commuter train Wednesday night to Tagkawayan and to go back Thursday with devotees of the Virgen of Peñafrancia.

With its inaugural run to Bicol from Tagkawayan, Quezon to Ligao, Albay, the PNR is offering free rides until Sunday in celebration of the Peñafrancia Fiesta.

At 5:54 p.m. Wednesday, the three-coach commuter train left Naga PNR Station en route to Tagkawayan. It chugged laboriously across rice fields until it approached a rail bridge in Sampaloc, Pamplona, Camarines Sur, where it overheated and stopped, some 20 km up north of Naga City.

Earlier in the day, the engines were repaired in time for another test-run going back to Quezon. After several calls on their cellular phones, concerned employees of the PNR aboard the commuter train discussed whether or not to continue the run going to Tagkawayan, where it could have provided free services to Peñafrancia devotees from Quezon in the early morning Thursday.

"We will not push to go back to Tagkawayan because we are afraid we might just give so much inconvenience to the riders," Caucil said in explaining why they had shelved the ride back to Quezon.

The engines of the locomotive roared back to life after being repaired for more than 30 minutes and it went back to Naga City and reached the station at past 7 p.m. Constancio Toledano, manager of the Naga PNR Station, revealed that the engines easily overheated because the two locomotives were surpluses from Singapore bought way back in 1987.

On the train's way to Naga City from Tagkawayan, the engines bogged down several times, he said. Toledano said that after assessing the first commuter train run, they decided to shelve the plan to extend its operation to Ligao City for the meantime.

As of press time on Thursday morning, he said the two engines of the locomotives were still in the shop being reconditioned.

"The commuter train will run again going to Tagkawayan if the engines would run by four o'clock in the afternoon," Toledano said.

The commuter train is composed of two 60-passenger capacity first-class coaches and a third-class coach with a capacity of more than 100 passengers, according to Beda Priela, chief of staff of the general manager.

Manuel "Ower" Andal, PNR general manager, said the commuter run had exceeded expectations when it was able to beat the deadline to link Tagkawayan to Naga.

Andal said the rehabilitation of the PNR lines solely depended on available government funds from the Office of the President and endorsement from Congressman Diosdado Ignacio "Dato" Arroyo.

Despite the glitches, Andal was optimistic about the opening of a Metro Manila-to-Bicol line by March next year. He revealed that some P400 million had already been programmed for the rehabilitation work.

A feasibility study of the National Economic and Development Authority on the railway operation in Bicol showed a two-phase project with the first phase involving rehabilitation and reconstruction works of 89 percent of the southbound railway tracks from Calamba, Laguna to Legazpi City in Albay, which stretches 422.662 kilometers.

It is estimated to cost US$627.81 million. The second phase is the construction of a 112.23-km new rail line extending to Matnog, Sorsogon (takeoff port towards the Visayas and Mindanao) from Legazpi City. It will cost the government US$304.23 million.

This is T-407 bound for Biñan, Laguna. Eto ang tren na sinasakyan ng The Daily Commuter at ang folding bike nya pauwi galing sa trabaho sa Makati.

^^Sumakay ako kanina kay T-407. From Tutuban to Blumentritt station lang. Trip lang. May mga activities akong nakita kanina. Na alis na ang lumang riles mula sa Tayuman hanggang sa may Napocor substation. Doon ngayon nag ooperate sina mini bulldozer at mini backhoe. Sa tingin ko mukhang ngayong week lang sinimulan ang pag sasaayos ng riles dito. Dahil hindi pa natatanggal ang mga burak sa riles at di pa ito nalalagyan ng ballast. Mayroon na rin ditong nakahandang mga concrete ties. :banana:

Di ko nakuhanan ng picture ang trip ko kanina kasi biglaan ang pag punta ko sa Tutuban at di ko nadala ang camera ko..

Nakita ko na rin sa wakas sina DMU04 at 05. Nagsisiksinan na sila sa shed ng mga DMU. Kaya nung dumating si DMU01 (CX108) ay naki buntot na lang sya kay DMU02.

Napansin ko din kanina na bago pala makapasok sa shed ang mga DMU ay dadaan pa muna sya sa riles na lubog sa baha. Nung lumusong nga kanina si DMU01 ay umuusok ang mga gulong nito dahil mainit ang gulong nya galing sa byahe at bilang pinadaan sa malamig na tubig baha. Di kaya maka apekto ito sa performance ng mga gulong?

Ganito ang ayos nila sa loob ng shed:

| Tutuban..........<- DMU05 - >...........Tayuman
| Tutuban..........<- DMU04 | DMU03 ->Tayuman
| Tutuban...<- DMU01 | DMU02 ->.......Tayuman

Kung nakapunta na kayo sa DMU shed. Maiintindihan nyo ang sketch ko sa itaas.. :lol:

Dapat sa likuran ng DMU05 pupuwesto si DMU01. Kaso wala yata ang operator ng DMU05 kaya umatras ulit sya para maki siksik kay DMU02.

sirs may napansin po ako sa naga coaches.yung size po nung sa caloocan ay mas maikli kaysa sa naga coaches.pati po ung windows e matulis at wala ng bukasan sa caloocan coach pero yung sa naga coach e parang pintura at exterior lang ang binago.tignan nyo po.

^^Tama ka dyan. Mas maigsi si NR-01 kaysa sa mga CAR-01-05. Ang size ngayon ng NR-01 ay kasing haba ng isang DMR unit.

Magkaiba rin sila ng bintana kasi ginawa from scratch ang buong body ni NR-01 samantalang tinadtad lang ng masilya at nilinis lang ang mga lumang bintana ni CAR-01-05

At si NR-01 ay may aircondition unit na pang bus. Samantalang si CAR01-05 ay air-cooled lang...

No more waiting, no more asking what time the 8 o’clock train will arrive, no more fully packed trains, no more late arrivals and missed appointments.
The bad news is that all of the above will not happen. At least not until after the repair and reconstruction of the tracks and other railway facilities are completed by the Korean contractor, Hanjin. Originally projected last April 2009, completion is now—according to the most optimistic forecast—March next year. But at the rate Hanjin is doing the job, we should not be surprised if the project will be completed only in December 2010.
The above would be funny if the implications are not serious. At present, there are only 10 trips a day and these are between Tutuban and Bicutan only. Two train sets are used; the other four are idle—monuments to the inefficiency of the Korean contractor. Considering that these rolling assets are worth all of $30 million, the PNR management should shed its complacency and read Hanjin the riot act or, better still if possible, replace the present contractor with one who can do the job better. Perhaps the Korean government, through its local ambassador can do something about this embarrassment. After all, it is their policy that Korean-funded projects be contracted out only to Korean contractors.
In the meantime, sorry na lang to those commuters who thought that their commuting problems would be solved by those sleek world-class commuter trains. Perhaps by Christmas, not the coming one but the next one, you will have what you deserve!

^^ Thanks Mr. Bee Cool. Now we are aware that even PNR employees, active or retired, are disappointed with the ongoing works of NR-SR Linkage project.

By searching the opinion pages - letter to the editor site of Philippine Daily Inquirer, I saw this comment of mine being published by the broadsheet.

Revolving seats in PNR trains (http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/letterstotheeditor/view/20090808-219245/Revolving-seats-in-PNR-trains)

Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 01:57:00 08/08/2009

Filed Under: Railway, Transport

I just want to make a comment regarding Belinda Olivares-Cunanan’s July 23 column titled “Wanted: efficient trains for working commuters.”

In that piece, she said, “But I think too much money was sunk into the first-class trains with their revolving deep-cushioned seats and yellow silk curtains (why revolving seats?).”

The newly refurbished coach is not a commuter coach but a “De Luxe” coach for passengers going to or coming from Bicol and the Southern Tagalog region. It used to have reclining and revolving chairs with white fabric and the PNR logo at the headrest.

All PNR De Luxe coaches are with reclining and revolving chairs. Cunanan should visit the Tutuban shed to see the white De Luxe coaches. The coaches have a revolving mechanism to allow their seats to turn.

Why the revolving seats? This is to eliminate the use of a triangle rail or a turntable to make the coaches and their seats face in the direction a train is going. All trains can run forward or backward with the same speed, unlike road vehicles which can do the reverse only at low speed.

Marahil kung bibili ang PNR ng train ulit ay katulad nito naka disenyo para sa mainit na panahon tulad sa australia medyo mainit kasi sa kanila at ito ay dinisenyo ng alstom.

http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv349/rodriguez428/Raillines.jpg

At kung malilinis na ang gilid ng riles sa laguna hanggang bicol at maayos na ang riles ay marahil ganito ang magiging itsura ng daraanan ng tren tulad sa Malaysia.

Wow ganda naman nyang lugar na yan:). Sa totoo lang kahit hindi sana gawing hi-tech or world class ang Northrail, basta ba malinis at maaliwalas ang daanan. Clean trains, clean service, frequent travels, and siyempre freight trains na tiba tiba. Sana ginawang idea na lang ang old railway theme ng PNR, para naiiba ang service, puwede itong tawagin na classic service. Iba ibang train set, like the "Bicol Express" would be those old orange trainsets na may old type of GE locomotive, serries 2000 ata yun. Siyempre kahit luma na ang paint scheme with modern amenities like air-conditioned na mga coaches, with stewardess na nag serve sa mga pasahero, "sir would you like to have a pillow?" sagot mo naman sure why not cooconut:lol:. corny hehehe. Anyway tapos may special trainset din na bullet nosed trainset, wow.:banana:. Imagine all of these ay nangyayari sa super busy na Tutuban Central station. Tapos maririnig mo "Ilokos Express is ready to depart please board your trains now, thank you for choosing Philippine National Railways, serving the Philippines 160 years, enjoy your ride, thank you". Tapos tagalog version "Salamat po, Mabuhay" hehehe. Then while the train is pulling out from the yard to the mainline you will see lots different rolling stocks. Whew...:banana::lol:

Before I left, may nahintong construction ng maliit na mall dun sa lumang station. Nahinto dahil hinarang yung pagdemolish sa station dahil a lot of people wanted to preserve the structure. Natapos na po ba ito? or kung ano na plano dito?

Kamusta kayo? :lol:

sir Riles28, hanggang ngayon po ba ay ganon parin ang lagay ni whale 908?? siguro marami pang ibang blue whales ang nandoon. gusto ko tuloy pumunta sa caloocan yard para makita ang mga lumang tren. ang nakita ko lang dun sa internet, blue whale 920, 2518 at si "red" whale 5010. Nagtataka ako, bakit sa lahat ng 5000 series na tren, 5010 nalang ang kulay red ang livery??

:lol:

Dahil yan na yung hindi napinturahan ng blue anyway kaya naging blue sina 920,, 2518 at iba pa dahil itinulad ito sa mga japanese blue coaches ng dumating ito sa pilipinas noong 1999 at bandang 2000 ay naging blue na nga ang mga tren as they new livery. :)

Bakit ako magso-sorry? Sila ang dapat mag-sorry (Why should I say sorry? They should be the ones apologizing)." This was Vice President Noli de Castro’s response to calls for him to apologize for his “outburst" against militants and members of the urban poor sector who interrupted his speech in Los Baños town in Laguna province last Thursday. “Dapat sila ang mag-sorry dahil binastos nila ako. Nag-drive ako ng 2.5 hours para pumunta sa Los Baños then pagdating ko doon, babastusin nila ako (It’s they who should apologize for being rude to me. I didn’t drive for two-and-one-half hours to Los Baňos to be insulted)," De Castro said over his Saturday radio program Para sa Iyo Bayan. De Castro drove to Laguna to award land titles to beneficiaries of the government’s housing program on Thursday. In the middle of his speech, he was interrupted by members of the Kalipunang Damayan ng Mahihirap (Kadamay), who were protesting against what they claimed were “anti-poor" government programs like the South Rail Project. The protesters expressed concern that tens of thousands of residents would be evicted from their homes when the 423-kilometer railway line from Calamba, Laguna to Legazpi City in Albay undergoes a reconstruction as part of the two-phase project. De Castro went on with his speech but took a swipe at the rallying militants, saying: “Sana nilapitan na lang ako. Baka kulang lang … KSP… kulang sa pansin (They could have just approached me instead of launching a rally. Maybe they are just insecure people)."

^^Palengke na yung nasa likuran nung pader na sinasabi mo. Masikip kasi sa area na yan kaya wala na iluluwag ang ROW dyan. Pero yung sa kabilang side maluwag yon.

Kung maglalagay sila ng mga halaman dyan baka nakawin lang mga yon. Hanggang ngayon wala pa rin naka install na mga ilaw at kuryente sa Blumentritt station. Madilim ang lugar na yan pag gabi. Kaya di masyado nababantayan ng mga guards.

BRIDGING THE GAP
Henry F. Funtecha, Ph.D.

The railroad network in the Visayas (II)

In the previous column, it was stated that the construction of a system of railroads in the Visayas was one that was given emphasis by the government authorities in the early days of the American occupation of the Philippines. These railway lines were to be constructed in Panay, Cebu and Negros.

The preparation for the construction of the Visayan railway system began in June 1906. After location surveys were completed, orders were placed for large quantities of construction materials, tools and machinery, 4 locomotives, 50 construction flat cars of 40 tons capacity and 50 ballast cars from the United States (Manila Daily Bulletin, November 3, 1907).

In order to be able to unload and care for the shipments upon their arrival and for all future orders, surveys were made for terminal grounds. These were found in Lapuz, La Paz across the City of Iloilo and along the pier in the City of Cebu. Temporary wharves and bodegas were constructed, and temporary tracks of light rails were laid to help in the storage and movements of the materials and tools.

By the early part of November 1906, the task of locating the lines where the railway will pass were partially done. The relevant maps and profiles of the final location of a 36-km. line from Iloilo City to Pototan and another 36-km. line from Cebu City to Danao had been filed with the Insular Government. On November 14, 1906, the American governor-general formally opened the construction of the Panay line in Iloilo, followed by that in Cebu on November 17 (Report of the Philippine Commission 1907).

In both Panay and Cebu, construction works involved not only the laying of the railroad tracks but also grading of the land and construction of the terminal building, bridges and culverts. The steel spans for bridges were fabricated in the U.S.

To provide for the operation of the lines whose construction was in full swing in mid-1907, orders were placed in the U.S. for 6 additional locomotives, 23 passenger coaches, and 80 freight cars. At this point, there were already in Panay and Cebu 7 locomotives and 100 freight cars (Manila Daily Bulletin November 3, 1907).

The locomotives were American in make and consisted of 50-ton for heavy construction work and ballasting, 30-ton and 35-ton for mixed train service. Generally, 70-pound steel rails, hardwood of the highest grade for ties and 6 inches of ballast were used. The passenger coaches had steel underframe and were equipped with complete air brakes and signals. The first-class and parlor coaches were finished in teak and the second class in sheated yellow pine (Report of the Philippine Commission 1909).

The railroad project in Negros, on the other hand, was postponed by the Americans to a later date because of the pre-occupation on Panay and Cebu. Unfortunately, the work on the Negros line never materialized.

On September 16, 1907, the Philippine Railway Co. opened the 36-km. line between Talisay and Danao in Cebu. In Panay, the first 36-km. line from Iloilo City to Pototan was opened some time in December 1907. The complete line to Capiz was not completed until June 1910 (Manila Daily Bulletin November 3, 1907).

actually konti lang ung matatamaan nyang establishments.. not sure if they're legit. mostly squatters lang tatamaan nya.. in angeles the big business that it would hit are jolibee clark-main gate, and the hotels in fields avenue. but i think the biggest challenge in pampanga is the san miguel brewery because the row practically divides the plant. smc requested that it be viaducted*. i don't have any news on bulacan.. i only see it from pampanga.. pero kung titingnan mo din.. pagnatapos ang isang activity sa pampanga, sigurado taung tapos narin sa bulacan weeks earlier. :)

I'm Adrian pala, taga kalookan at amateur developer sa BVE trainsim. plano ko ngayon na gawing isang virtual route yung buong PNR commuter line starting Tayuman to sucat. Pero dahil mahirap sya ng bahagya baka next year pa ako matapos. Kailangan ko pa kasing pag-aralan yung mga scenery sa tabing riles para maiprogram ko. Wala akong oras kasing sumakay sa PNR. Kung meron kayong mga picture ng trackside scenery, pwedeng pahiram? pakisabi lang kung saan yung location. Pasensya na kung gagawin ko kayong mga 'alipin' para matapos to.

Salamat!

PS: sino pala ang may kakilala dito sa PNR o myembro dito na nagtratrabaho sa PNR? Baka i-program ko rin yung mga DMR para mag-muka talagang PNR route.

Hello sa lahat ng mga PNR diehard fans dyan! May magandang balita ako sa Inyo!

I'm Adrian pala, taga kalookan at amateur developer sa BVE trainsim. plano ko ngayon na gawing isang virtual route yung buong PNR commuter line starting Tayuman to sucat. Pero dahil mahirap sya ng bahagya baka next year pa ako matapos. Kailangan ko pa kasing pag-aralan yung mga scenery sa tabing riles para maiprogram ko. Wala akong oras kasing sumakay sa PNR. Kung meron kayong mga picture ng trackside scenery, pwedeng pahiram? pakisabi lang kung saan yung location. Pasensya na kung gagawin ko kayong mga 'alipin' para matapos to.

Salamat!

PS: sino pala ang may kakilala dito sa PNR o myembro dito na nagtratrabaho sa PNR? Baka i-program ko rin yung mga DMR para mag-muka talagang PNR route.

Abangan mo ang pic. ko at may mga kuha ako ng Parte ng Sampaloc, Sta. Mesa, Pandacan, Paco, Sucat, Alabang, At Bicutan Pati yung triangulo area at Tutuban yard actually ayan tingnan mo yung ibang kuha sa nakaraan thread at magkakaroon kana ng idea pano mo gagawin ang scenery ng BVE Trainsim mo, at ako may kakilala ako sa PNR sina Mr. Nierva, At Mr. Regolto mga head ng PNR.:)

^^ now, that's what i call a really cool hobby, Sir Nico! :)

a San Miguel Corporation Brewery Facility sitting right over the PNR ROW? what the?! hindi ba alam ng San Miguel na PNR ROW yung lupa ng planta nila and now they are asking to build a viaduct over their plant instead of vacating the area since lumalabas na squatter sila sa lupa ng PNR?!

no no,, i mislead you.. the row runs through the lot but not under any of its buildings. it'd just be a problem for them since there's heavy traffic inside. there are so many trucks coming and going by the hour that its own avenues are wider than NLEx. take note that the san fernando brewery is i think the second biggest smc brewery in the country, supplying the whole luzon, except NCR. splitting the plant in half or moving to another location would spell disaster..

but anyway, smc may be forced to finance the viaduct kasi they're at a disadvantage. viaduct or not, northrail will still push through.

heto na, heto na, heto na.
after hours of attempting to upload on youtube, i gave up. sa facebook ko nalang inupload ung video ng NRt (i just wanna call it NRt para sounds like MRT/LRT)

sa mga may facebook eto link. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1216391417881

sa mga wala. eto.. http://www.facebook.com/v/1216391417881

sorry di nakafocus sa row kasi we were capturing the whole surrounding because the video was a documentary for angeles city. :)

i am liking the old PNR logo on the new couches. kitang kita mo how much it has progressed over the years. i grew up hearing the PNR trains everyday but never had a chance to try it. maybe next time na nandyan ako makakasakay kami ng aking tsikiting. congratulations and more power sa lahat ng involved sa project na to.

Excerpt:

Sen. Edgardo J. Angara pushed Sunday for the establishment of a national railway system in the country to boost economic progress and national development, considering the wide-ranging economic and social benefits of investing in a nationally-linked rail system.

“Enacting a comprehensive policy for the establishment of a national railway system has long been overdue, considering the food and fuel crisis that many countries of the whole world now suffer. Having a definitive government policy on this matter will ensure an efficient and effective mass transport system nationwide that will facilitate the movement of people, goods and services around the country,” said Angara, who chairs the Senate Committee on Finance

it's a good thing that Senator Angara has now thought of a national railway system. we can actually link the railway system that is fully in place in Luzon (provided that the Southrail would reach Matnog, Sorsogon) with a new railway system within the islands of Samar and Leyte (we can connect the Samar and Leyte railway systems by building either a bridge that would run parallel to the San Juanico Bridge or an undersea railway tunnel) by building an undersea railway tunnel right beneath the San Bernardino Strait, the body of water separating Luzon and Samar (narrowest point is eight kilometers wide, according to Merriam-Webster's geographical dictionary (http://books.google.com.ph/books?id=Co_VIPIJerIC&pg=RA1-PA1038&lpg=RA1-PA1038&dq=San+Bernardino+Strait+kilometers&source=bl&ots=PvmJlDBu10&sig=BRZ_x4QcjM7BFPdiip68hFOwH6s&hl=en&ei=o_a2SsuxHoWgsgOmyvTRDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3#v=onepage&q=&f=false)).

i just do not know if it is possible to connect the railway system in Samar-Leyte with that of the railway system in Mindanao given the fact that the Surigao Strait, the body of water separating Leyte from Mindanao, is much wider (width of 16 to 40 kilometers, according to Merriam-Webster's geographical dictionary (http://books.google.com.ph/books?id=Co_VIPIJerIC&pg=RA1-PA1140&lpg=RA1-PA1140&dq=Surigao+Strait+Merriam-Webster%27s+geographical+dictionary&source=bl&ots=PvmJlDCpYZ&sig=KNSsiqigc8p6iD5s7cZlV264guA&hl=en&ei=Yvi2Sqr5MIbKsAP4s7zQDA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false)).

PNR train derailed; Bicol run suspended
By Juan Escandor Jr.
Inquirer Southern Luzon

NAGA CITY, Philippines—The commercial run of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) train on Bicol to Quezon routes was put on hold Monday after the train got derailed in one of its trips Sunday, local authorities said.

The PNR train was supposed to serve Tagkawayan and the routes of Quezon-Naga City, Camarines Sur-Ligao City, and Albay starting Monday.

Beda Priela, chief of staff of the general manager, said the PNR management suspended operations after its Bicol commuter train got derailed on Sunday in Barangay (Village) Del Rosario, Lupi, Camarines Sur at about 8 a.m. on its way to Naga City from Tagkawayan, Quezon.

Priela called it a "minor derailment" in which the engine stopped before the train went off the rail tracks because of loose wooden ties.

He said the commuter train was running at an estimated speed of 50 km/hr and no one was hurt among the passengers who were on their way to celebrate the Peñafrancia Fiesta in Naga City.

Priela said mechanics and workers were sent immediately to the derailment site to re-rail the locomotive and another coach. These were successfully driven back to the PNR Naga station for further repair.

On Monday, the locomotive went back to Del Rosario to tow back to this
city the two remaining coaches, which were left behind.

Priela said they had moved the target for a commercial run to the end of September.

"Even though we were not able to meet our objective of providing free rides for the Peñafrancia Fiesta, on the positive note, we have identified the weaknesses and strengths in the system. We could have not probably known these if we had not run the train," he explained.

Priela said the second-hand diesel-fed engines manufactured by General Electric and were acquired in 1987 from Singapore should be further reconditioned because its electrical wirings have been failing, causing them to shut down due to overheating.

Ding De Guzman, PNR consultant for rolling stocks, said spare parts and electrical experts would have to be brought in from abroad to fix the train.

De Guzman said that during the repair of the locomotives, rail tracks would be rehabilitated and wooden ties would be replaced with concrete ones.

Priela said that the Bicol commuter train made a successful run on Thursday as it reached Tagkawayan without hitch at about 10 p.m..

Tagkwayan is about 80 kilometers away from Naga City where it left at 5:43 p.m.

However, on Friday the engines again overheated in Sipocot, Camarines Sur at about 8 a.m. after it left Tagkawayan at 5 a.m.

The engine was revived at 1 p.m. and was sent back to Naga City.

Priela said the passengers of the train who were on their way to attend the Peñafrancia Fiesta were made to transfer to a bus to reach Naga City.

As the Bicol commuter train reached Naga City, the engine was again repaired the whole afternoon Friday and it was able to go back in the afternoon at Tagkawayan, arriving there at 9:20 p.m.

On Saturday, it left Naga City and made another successful run to Tagkawayan until it conked out again on Sunday in going to Naga City.

Priela said they would deploy teams to inspect and determine the integrity of the rail tracks.

"We don't want to start commercial operation just to earn jeers from the passengers so we want to make sure that the system would be okay before running again the Bicol commuter train," he added.

Thank you sa lahat ng gustong mag-contribute! ang problema ngayon yung raw materials (sound records galing sa DMR, cab photo) kasi balak kong gawin yung DMR para magmukang PNR line talaga. Baka kasi manghiram ako ng sound files sa Class 220 DEMU. Sino pala dito yung may cab photo ng DMR o yung mga U5b-U6B? yung driver's eye view talaga?

Kay Riles28, saang division sila ng PNR? Sana sa rolling stock sila.

Baka next week mag-uumpisa na akong gawin yung Tayuman yard. Thank you sa lahat!

The cab files for the U5b and u6b puwede rin yung makikita sa Train-Sim.com. Pero pang MSTS lang ang mga ito puwede mong gamitin ang TGAtool para maconvert ang cabview into a ordinary picture. Kasi ang gamit ko kasi na sim ay ang MSTS. Anong version ba ng BVE you intend to develop the PNR route for? Sana yung pinaka bago para puwedeng mag view sa outside. Palagay ko masmaganda ang kung authentic ang sound ng tren mo. Mga ilang files ng sound ba ang kailangan mo?:)

^^ ikaw naman. libre naman ang mangarap eh. :lol:

seriously, the more feasible option would be to have the railway systems of Luzon, Samar-Leyte and Mindanao be inter-connected to port areas. kung baga, yung mga isasakay na mga pasahero at mga kargamento sa mga tren ay deretso na agad sa mga barko dahil yung riles ay konektado sa mga pier. :)

Libre ba mangarap? hehehe.

Pero the port area option would be more feasible and definitely less bukol kehza gumawa ng tunnel. Parang pag nagtunnel ang gagawin, budget na ng govt for 1 year ang gagastusin eh :D

Yung Buendia Northbound RR Crossing ay sa wakas ay may asphalt overlay na.

SOUTHRAIL RESETTLEMENT UPDATES:

Tuloy na abs yung pgdemolish ng mga bahay dyan sa Calamba, Los Banos at Bay kasama na yung sa Sto. Tomas at Tanuan. Ngayon ko lang nariciv yung txt ng kasama ko sa NHA sa head office.

Di ko lang confirmed sa kanya kung saan eksaktong dadaan yung China Fund Southrail kasi yung inuuna nila ay yung linya na papuntang Batangas at sa Calamba to Bae.

Ang sabi nya ay maluwag at konti pa daw kasi ang mga squatters dito sa dating riles mula sa Sto Tomas to Tanuan Section ng Batangas Line. Halos kasi lahat ng katabi ng ROW ay ricefield na kaya sabi ng mga taga DOTC ay maluwag para sa paggawa ng mataas na embankment. Para makakonect naman mula Tanuan ay bibili ng bagong alignment papuntang San Pablo at Tiaong. Mostly mga ricefield na yung area na ito.

Kumpara duon sa Calamba Los Banos to San Pablo section (existing), ay masikip na yung right of way at wala ng space sa gilid. Eto lang ang updates ko sa ngayon.

Para sa akin, tama lang ang analysis ko nung una. Kung gagawa sila ng panigabong riles, ay mainam na itong gawin sa lumang right of way na kasalukuyang di ginagamit ng PNR. Dito ay maluwag silang makakagawa ng mabilis. Kasi kung via Los Banos ay kailangan pa nilang irelocate yung kasalukuyang riles na ginagamit ng PNR para makagawa sila ng bagong embankment.

Mula naman sa Tiaong papuntang Lucena, masyado nang maluwag ang right of way dito. Pwede na silang magtabi, kahit 60meters pwede nilang gamitin kasi mostly rice field na ang katabi ng row dito sa lugar na ito. :)

Ang dami talagang tatamaan ng demolition sa area na to.

So bubuhayin ng PNR ang Batangas Line all the way hanggang sa pier? Ayos!

Yung sang katerbang IS, panis na yan ngayon. May mga nagsasabi pero hanggang duon na lang sila. Yung mga nagrally nung July, actually favor sila na marelocate na. Eto yung mga Families mula Calamba, Los Banos, Bay, Sto. Tomas at Tanuan. Humingi lang sila nung parang cash incentives.

Yung sa Lipa, ay matagal na nila itong inayos. Hindi ko lang alam kung narelocate na basta ang kasunduan, 20 meters ang matitira, yung 7 meters para sa housing at yung 3 meters ay daanan. Sa palagay ay natapos na ito.

Kung ito ay dadaan sa Sto. Tomas at Tanuan, ay siguradong napakalapit na ng Batangas para kanila itong lagyan na rin ng bagong riles.

Pero, sa bi ng friend ko, lahat ng PNR right of way ay kanilang lilinisin pati na yung papuntang Batangas at mula San Pablo hanggang Pagbilao dirediretso na ito hanggang Legazpi .

Hundreds of poor residents along South Rail and Manila Bay hold rally at HUDCC (http://laborpartyphilippines.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=138&Itemid=2)

Some 500 urban poor residents living along the South Rail in Laguna, Batangas and Cavite, and along the coastlines of Manila Bay held a rally at the Makati office of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) and a dialogue with housing officials on their demand for decent housing and livelihood opportunities.

Romy Cabugnason, spokesperson of Alyansa ng Maralitang Pilipino (AMP), said that “Thousands of families will be displaced by demolitions along the Calabarzon areas of South Rail and Manila Bay to give way to rehabilitation of the railway and clean up of the bay. But the urban poor are not garbage that should be thrown away to give way to so-called development. There is no real progress unless there is social justice.”

The Calabarzon urban poor assembled at Magallanes in Makati around noon and then marched to the HUDCC office by 1:00 pm. They then held a dialogue at 2:00 pm with HUDCC officials regarding their demands.

The residents along the Manila Bay are asking for in-city relocation, alternative forms of fishing for livelihood, and financial assistance for relocation, livelihood and social services. While the demands of the urban poor along the South Rail line are the release of the funds meant for relocatees, sale to informal settlers of the Philippine National Railroad lands that will not be used in the rehabilitation, and representation in the inter-agency committee on relocation.

Members of Alyansa ng Mamamayan na Apektado ng Road 1 (AMAR-1), Samahang Mamamayan Naninirahan sa Riles ng Calabarzon (SMPRC) and Partido ng Manggagawa joined AMP in the march, rally and dialogue. The protesters came from the towns of Calamba, Los Baños and Bae in Laguna, Sto. Tomas and Tanauan in Batangas, and Bacoor, Kawit, Cavite City, Rosario and Tanza in Cavite.

Demolition of fishing communities along the Cavite coastline of Manila Bay was supposed to start yesterday as per the notices sent to residents promting the urban poor to hold a rally and dialogue with HUDCC officials. Preparation for eviction of residents along the South Rail starting from Calamba are also underway.:banana:

Cabugnason explained that “We are merely asking for the social cost of these development plans that should already be factored into the project cost. The urban poor demands amount to only a small portion of these multibillion projects.” The South Rail projects costs more than P 40 billion with an allotment around P 1.8 billion for relocation. The government meanwhile recently allocated P 1.6 billion for the Manila Bay clean up, of which P 250 million is for relocation of informal settlers on open waterways in Metro Manila. ###

Pwde pahiram muna ng busina? paano mo ma-itratransfer yon sa akin? Actually kasi ang plano kong i-program yung mga DMR class pero mas masaya pag nandyan yung mga lumang tren.

^^Jampack full of passengers. With daily trips like this, the DMUs already reach its maximum load. Making the suspension to deteriorate faster than normal wear and tear. The PNR solution, double the train. Instead of the usual 3 car set DMU. Tomorrow, PNR will do a trial run of 6 car set DMU. By coupling 2 DMUs together. They will do the trial run on the first and last trip in the morning. If all goes well. They will apply it to all of its trip.

Base doon sa technical journal ko, Conical-Laminated rubber ang suspension ng mga bogies ng DMR. Madali lang palitan pag na-worn out na.

^^^Ganito ba yung laminated air suspension?
Panu magpalit nyan? Para lang ba nagpapalit ng gulong ng kotse? Puwede ba ito ipa vulcanize?

Just a question: how will two coupled DMUs fit given the relatively short length of the platforms? I don't think they'll only board passengers in the back and then all of us go up front; that type of loading would be very inefficient.

nakakatuwa naman makita na napakarami nang sumasakay ngayon sa mga tren ng PNR. :)

basta magtuluy-tuloy lang ang modernization ng railway system natin, expect the commuting public to go back to the PNR. a modern PNR will help bring progress in this country. :)

Thanks for posting.....and thanks to google earth too....:)
management tool pala ang google earth.
so by satellite we can determine lahat ng lugar ng mga may squatters...

^^Kung makita mo sya sa 109-110. Ibig sabihin nun successful ang test run ng dual-DMU set.

Just a question: how will two coupled DMUs fit given the relatively short length of the platforms? I don't think they'll only board passengers in the back and then all of us go up front; that type of loading would be very inefficient.

^^Sabi nung PNR official. Yung unahan bahagi muna ang titigil sa platform then isusunod nila yung last part. Isa lang ibig sabihin nyan. Tatagal ng more than 1 min sa platform ang DMU at makaka apekto ito sa timetable ng PNR.

At makaka apekto rin sya sa traffic sa area gaya nung sa Buendia station.

wag na extend platforms....dalasan na lang ang biyahe....hindi naman kailangan na 2 tren pagdugtungin siguro it would be better if they just send those trains a few minutes interval mas efficient pa yun...kesa sa isang mahaba na walang babaan sa platform magtatagal ang pagsakay at baba...

^^Tama ka dyan! Mukhang di itinuloy ang plano na gawing 6car set ang DMU kanina. At ang announcemant ng operator kanina ay mas magiging maaga ng 10mins si CX103 simula bukas. At sabi pa kanina na wala nang hintayan sa Espanya crossing simula bukas. Baka sa Pandacan palang magswitch na si CX102 sa lumang tracks para di na nya kailangan hintayin si CX103.

kulang sa "operations management" skills talaga ang mga government companies... yung 3 train car configuration feeling ko kulang talaga yon, baka dapat 4 or 5 tapos yung timing ng intervals dapat i analyze din.........

Yung mga blue whale na 5 car configuration feeling ko yun ang optimal tapos siguro every 15 minutes ang interval sigurado a) kikita ang PNR b) masaya ang customer at c) magagampanan netong train ang "mass rail purpose" to decongest and improve mass transport.

Dapat ipa OPERES thesis sa mga college yang PNR operations para maka libre sila tapos saka na problemahin kung kelangan pa bumili ng marami tren hehehe

Kalbongdad - agree ako sayo, nung nawala mga IS at luminis ang mga tren bumalik ang customer.... sabi nga if you provide good quality and price, the customers will come

^^ The three-car DMU is actually as long as the five-car locomotive. The configuration of the DMU actually allows for more people to be packed inside the train than the locomotive does. However, to have a four-car DMU run on existing infrastructure requires extending platforms to MRT-2 or MRT-3 length, and although PNR has the ability to do so for many stations, it does not for others (Buendia comes to mind).

Anu ba yan, papaltan na naman isked...so anung ETA na nito bukas sa Buendia?

Hmm parang hinde po ata. Kz yung Buendia platform, sakto lang ang haba nya para sa mga DMU. Eh yung COMMEX Train pag tumigil, lagpas na yung isa't kalahating coach sa platform, hindi pa kasama ang locomotive.
