the PNR comeback

[jpdm]

Magandang araw sa lahat,

This picture made me smile kasi sa wakas, maganda na at malinis na ang sinasakyan ng mga taxpayers. May katuturan na ang pagbayad ng tax sa gobyerno. Tuloy tuloy na yan sa pagunlad ng Pinas kahit man lang sa PNR. Makakaipon na ang mga tao sa mababang pamasahel.

Actually, kahit kakaunti yung pondo na nakalaan sa PNR rehab, patuloy pa rin ang pag-i-improve ng serbisyo ng train.

iniisip ata ng PNR na pagdikitin na ang dalawang bagong DMU mula sa 3 car train into 2 car train. Para mas dumami ang makasakay lalo sa rush hours.

Patiloy rin ang pag-aalis ng squatters mula Alabang hanggang Batangas para sa napipintong Tutuban-Bicol route.

Sa ngayon, patuloy ang pag-aayos ng mga riles sa tutuban-Alabang route. patuloy rin ang pag-aayos ng mga ROW at rail equipments. Sinisimulan na rin ang Northrail at hannggang Angeles na pagtanggal ng squatter.

Yung sa Mindanao mukhang itutuloy rin.

OT: Mods sorry po sa double post (ng pictures). You may delete the other one.

Anyway, i think the PNR is doing the right thing. Even with minimal funding they are doing something.

I do hope more of the old stocks (similar with those refurbished units in Naga still considered by rail experts as relatively modern) will be expertly refurbished to compliment the brand trains from Korea plying the Tutuban-Alabang route.

The ROW should also be fenced off but I hope LGUs will help in protecting the PNR trains and assets.

baludoy,

Thanks for the info. How do we show this on the internet? Pictures maybe? One important detail to this, all pictures have to show clean environment, just like Boracay, they rake the sand of the beaches every other morning, all garbage picked up and hauled away. In Naga, since its same as Boracay, the locales must have a list of volunteers who will do the clean up every day, every week, every month. Everyone must have a hand on this upliftment. Its easy cleaning up if only few tourist comes but when things pick up its not a going to be a joke when maintaining cleanliness and so a lot of helping hands have to be there. I hope local government see my vision. lol !

PNR is still in the rehab stage. Right now, old sleepers and rails in the Metro are being rehabilitated. Eventually, full service between Tutuban and Alabang will soon commence.

I think the PNR Blumentritt station(LRT Blumentritt) and Buendia Station(MRT Edsa Station).

Sir, I think its ok. Just credit the original owner (as indicated)of the photos (SSC members and RIHSPI).

I found Tayuman to be very close. From the walkway of the LRT U can see the PNR...It's a very short walk.

You know? Mismanagement malamang ang naging dahilan. PNR is a major transpo for all and it pays by itself. Recession of what, may sumasakay diyan and if money is mismanage, then walang perang pang maintain and if theres no maintenance , like refurbishing down engines, missing rails, missing screws, and the list goes on and on.
The person to lead PNR must have a heart and passion for the trains and save those moneys earned to buy new faster trains and better rails. I just wonder, papaano mag tatravel in one rail road ang express papuntang Bicol and those dmu's getting passengers just for metroman!ila use.
Again, the person to lead the PNR department must , must have the heart and passion mainly for the trains. It's hard to find one much less for the new president who will love to lead the Philippines.
Mabuhay po tayong lahat and please monitor the person who will lead this department of the government.
Or else this changes will go down the drain again. Sayang lang ang pinaghirapan ni Defensor at ang mga trabahador na naglinis, naglatag ng mga bagong riles * sleepers.

I am no Defensor admirer pero siya iyong naka mukha dito sa project na ito. I hope siya pa ren ang maglead ng PNR under the new government ni Noynoy/Mar next year. If not then the next guy has to have the passion for locomotives. Peace ! !

By the way, thanks again for the new pictures. Ganda ganda.
