Summary[edit]

Description Philippine National Railways (PNR) are now but a mere shadow of their former glory. The train curves away in the distance past what appears to be a railway freight shed, now defunct of course, and in use by others. The PNR used to offer freight services, using General Electric U15C 900-series locomotives bought by the company in 1974. There was also a limited mobile hospital service. During the 1970s, the PNR used to operate several prestigious and important trains like inter-city trains, express trains and the Prestige and Peñafrancia Express. With priority over all other trains on its route, and calling only at Daraga, Ligao, Naga, Lucena, and Paco, the Prestige and Peñafrancia Express was frequently the first of the three express trains to arrive. It normally arrived in Tutuban railway station, Manila's Grand Central, making it a popular service with businessmen. The 48-seater air-conditioned coaches of the Prestige were somewhat narrower and lower than those built in Madras, (India) which also contributed to the faster run. (Manila, Philippines, May 2013)
