Oh yes Dolphy! I am missing him. Yes, his sitcom "Home Along Da Riles" had been everyday culture. Thank you for the reminder. If I only could do the trip again!

Yes your right because before the tren live Tutuban my father will check the sand container .

or even to Sorsogon. The track still exists but is in an awful state. Nest year maybe.

Do you believe in this announcement of DOTr? The announced Mindanao Rail System from 2016 does not yet exist. The announced Bullet Trains all over Mindanao are still limited to a one rail link between Tagum and Davao Cities. The trains are pulled by slow diesel-electric engines. The construction of the North-Mindanao line between Surigao and Iligan has not yet started. The new PNR-Bicol line seems to be financed by the Chinese state. This would initially be a chance for the Philippines - until they cannot pay back as many other countries couldn't do. Then the Chinese take over. I very much would like to see again a working Bicol Express. But sorry, I do not see it.

@ Do you believe in this announcement of DOTr? -Depends on the project, a big project like this NO unless they start the construction. Right now they haven't started it yet but the ROW acquisition has already started since 2019. -and construction of package1 of this project will start in Q1. let's see if it is true. as DOTr notorious for hyping projects and overestimating the timelines. The announced Mindanao Rail System from 2016 does not yet exist. -The announcement is just a proposed project back in 2016. Right now they are in process of ROW. But don't expect much about that project as it is slow and have no clear of whos going to fund the project The announced Bullet Trains all over Mindanao are still limited to a one rail link between Tagum and Davao Cities. -I haven't heard of that bullet train, must be a hearsay This would initially be a chance for the Philippines - until they cannot payback -IMO Philippines can pay its debt(this project). and the Philippines has a good credit rating compared to other countries whose project has been taken over by the Chinese I very much would like to see again a working Bicol Express. But sorry, I do not see it. -Who doesn't? A project like these takes time. This was just proposed back in 2017, look how long Vietnam MRT or Jakarta MRT took time. -What I want to see right now is to see they start the project *Edit* all links I've included are not showing

@ you're a fckin moron if you think the Philippines wouldn't be able to pay a measly $3 Billion loan lmao

I also hope that the famous Bicol Express will soon be operating again. I surely will be one of the firste passengers.

There is so much potential for PNR to really make a flagship service. Modern en-suite sleeper-berth rolling stock with auto-rail trailers on the Manila-Legaspi run would be one of the great Asian railway journeys - run it as a sleeper one way for a luxury experience, and daylight service on the return leg for sightseeing. Run a separate economy service for public benefit, and later on re-open the Batangas branch line - it would get a huge amount of both freight and passenger traffic from the port.

Thank you very much for your historic update. And thank you also very much for your bilingual comment.

Actually, looking at the video closer, it seems to be just a little 5000 class.

@Itz_Cyclone Gaming 5007

True! These machines would need hundreds of improvements.

It's coming. Needs still some work. Next week maybe.

do you have the video of your whole trip from Naga city to Legazpi city? will you gonna upload it sir? i'm very interesting on your adventure!

Problems Yung mga namamato Ng tren

@@raymond77supleo66 Sana nga para byaheng safe mga kababayan naten

Saka madedemolish na lahat ng mga bahay sa tabing riles hanggang Legazpi to Tabaco City para magimg double track kasi para ung mga Goods galing Manila Via freight train maka byahe papuntang Bicol ng di na magta truck kasi nakaka traffic lang sila sa Highway ehh

Saka kung magkakaroon ng Tulay sa Matnog to Allen baka magkaroon ng byahe ng Tacloban Express via Train

I do not know the current status of the route. Please inquire here: facebook.com/pages/Naga-railway-station/151148004900848

No, unfortunately not. But you can use the "skates" on the same tracks. PNR plans a completely new track. Next year maybe ...

The locomotive will be about 2 decades of age, it isn't unusual for it to have wearing and tearing cab interior.

Philippines

Who had been first? And do you ask the same question about the highways? OMG, you live in the wrong country. Suggestion: Go west! Best would be to take a skate.

Napaka-mahal magtayo ng isang portion ng riles sa loob ng 101 na kilometro.

Merong safe measures actually. Kung wala, di yan makakatakbo ang tren na yan. Ang safety measures nila ay: •Blow the horn at nearby areas where people are present. •Blow the horn to warn anyone beyond a kilometre or two away from the train. •Slow down at weak portions of the tracks. (Bridges most especially) •Must not go beyond 60km/h for a long period.

What do you mean by "discussting"? Care to discuss? If you are contented with the company of the ladyboys in Thailand then stay there. ;)

There are three reasons that speak for the train: 1) Trains are much faster on a good track 2) Trains can transport much bigger masses 3)Trains for passengers are much more comfortable
