in 3:26 I saw something a trolley piggybacking on a MetroTren coach!
Good the home along da riles was removed because they put danger to their lives and also to the train passengers lives (throwing stones on trains?)
I missed trains passing by in our place in Caloocan. Now there is no future when the Northrail will be completed.

Hmmm would it be unfair to say that the railway system (and the boroughs around it) is in need of a minor overhaul ?
-
Now 2012 this line is almost world class railway with super clean stations and ac. trains see my video made in Jan 2012
-
Judging by the doubletrack, the route must have seen larger amounts of service in the past. I bet the railroad was loosing money so it cut back on service and raised fares, hence the large amount of trollies.

at 4:18 nice bow in the rail where the joint is
-
The home made trollies actually protect the rails from being stolen.
Yet, the shanties are already gone.
-
What the heck at 3:20 it looks like there is a guy on a picnic table on the back of the train? the fudge?
-
i can;t believe this is a railway it's a joke.

@MrTaipan55
'Skwakas', 'rats'. 'scums' (sic) - do these unpleasant and ridiculous names make it easier for you to avoid having a single useful thought about these people?
Apparently you don't live in the Philippines and I doubt you can be a serious student of Philippine affairs. What is the basis for your claims? Do you have any actual knowledge of the district shown in the video? Do you even know where it is?
Could you provide one piece of factual information to support what you say?

I love this video - people seem happy although to our (western) eyes they live in seeming abject poverty. It's nice to see how closely the railway fits in with people - they all make way for the train with a friendly wave and I love those home made 'rail skates'! Now THAT is ingenuity for you! ViVa Philippines!
