SRF620 PHILIPPINES - U15C 918 919 TAYUMAN TO CALOOCAN CAB RIDE

Cab ride on U15C 918 and 919 from Tayuman locomotive shed, to Tutuban station, then on to Caloocan Workshops in Manila.
At the time, trains on this section were quite rare and limited to transfers to the large workshops at Caloocan. All the sights and sounds of these beautiful General Electric locomotives, along with one scary near miss.
Back in 2010, and 2011, David Xuereb traveled to the Philippines with my good self. In between the usual duties expected of us, we presented our parts lineside as much as possible.
Mr Xuereb has generously allowed us to show all his video footage from these two trips. The series will take in the Philippine National Railways, LRT1 and MRT3, all of which we were given special permission to visit and photograph.
This first episode is a ride in the cab of the PNR's oldest locomotive, General Electric built U15C 902. The late afternoon Binan service used old second-hand passenger stock from Japan.
After the ride, there is a selection of still photos taken along the way

Crank your speakers, as this is a true soundfest.

Thanks to David Xuereb for allowing us to share your video with the world.
