Nakaka-diretso na ba ang biyahe ng PNR from Tutuban to Alabang?

Hangang Bicutan pa lang po yata , sa pagakakaintindi ko.


Regarding the fences, naisuggest ko sa U tube not too long ago, fences has to be at least 10 to 12 feet high or higher than the trains so double armour sa trains. The fence after the 10 feet height, ibend nila inward para hindi maglaland sa roof ng trains ang basurang ibinabato nila. Thats only up to the metro manila areas and areas with people living near the tracks. Distance of fence would be at least 10 to 20 feet away from the riles. magastos pero kailangan, instead of fighting the people doing this.
PNR reps also can have a town talk meeting with the residents to make them understand that doing this , will hurt not only people in the trains, but may hurt a future good economic plan for them through possible malls or business plans in their area. Ang daming benepiciong makukuha sa PNR come back na ito and I am very positive on this, huwag lang may magcorrupt sa taas. Crossing my fingers. Salamat po.

Hi guys, last Tuesday ay mag-tren na Commex T-404 sana ako from Buendia to Blumentritt kasi may official business akong pupuntahan sa may Sta. Cruz Manila. Ang schedule ng T-404 sa Buendia ay 2:20PM galing Alabang pero mga alas-tres na wala pa ang tren. Nag-decide ako na mag-bus na lang. Pero bago ako umalis ng Buendia Station ay dumaan ang tren na ito.

After ng official business ko sa Yakal Street corner Bambang ay nilakad ko na lang ang Tutuban Station. Pagdating ko sa station tinignan ko yun mga photo collection and restored BUDA car # 22 exhibit courtesy of RIHSPI.

Bumili na ako ng ticket ng CX-109 pabalik ng Buendia. Mura talaga ang pamasahe na P10.00 kaysa mag LRT ako na P15.00 plus mag-jeep pa ako papunta sa istasyon. After ko bumili ng ticket ay nagkuha ako ng pictures para may update tayo.

Finally, on board CX-109


Along the way, nagtanong ako sa kundoktor kung bakit delay yun T-404. Ang sabi niya ay nakasagasa daw ng lalaki sa area between Sucat and Alabang. Suicide daw ang reason kaya hindi napigilan ng mga tao na humarang sa riles at sinadya yata na hindi uminom ng Cobra energy drink. Ang T-404 ay hinihila ng Blue whale 5001. Kaya siguro pumunta yun Plasser & Theurer OBW-10S para i-check ang nangyari. Puro PNR managers at Koreans ang laman ng service car na yun.

Sir, ang mga new DMU trains po ay Tutuban-Bicutan while ang mga Commex Trains (blue) ay Tutuban-Alabang (12:00PM) pag tanghali at Tutuban-Binan pag hapon (5:30PM departure at Tutuban)

Good pictures. Thank you very much. They are very beautifull shots and obviously, ang mga trabahador nag trabaho talaga. They deserve their names listed on a wall on all the stations plus sana may pictures nila. I hope I am not asking too much.

Mukhang yung coaches lang ata pinapaganda sa mga trains eh. Yung makina, hindi. Ayan.....bumigay na.

PNR train bogs down in inaugural run

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.
