HISTORY
From the time the first rail tracks were laid in the Manila-
Dagupan Ferrocaril line in 1891 and the colonial train had its
first commercial run, until today when the Mainline South
(Bicol line) is being rehabilitated under much public
anticipation, Philippine trains have been running for 120
years.
From the Manila center towards Baguio in the north, the line
ended in Damortis, La Union while south line stopped in
Legazpi City in the Bicol Peninsula. From here to there and
back it carried people and their goods, their trade and
livelihood. From here to there it ferried passengers and
freight, towards beginnings and ends, transitions and
celebrations.
