Apparently recent photos. Didn't these come from US RRs previously? http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?january04/01-01-04/9201-154Saguayshay12-14.jpg ryarger@rypn.org |

I think these are 42" gauge. Correct? http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?january04/01-01-04/9201-155Sagaymallet7.jpg ryarger@rypn.org |

Looks like a 25-tonner, but with three axles. http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?january04/01-01-04/9201-170Victorias28-DE.jpg ryarger@rypn.org |

I believe you are correct, all of these locomotives are 42" gauge. These were all operating I believe in the 1980s, perhaps early 90s. They were owned by the Insular Lumber Company which I am pretty sure was in Negros. My guess is they were built and imported straight to the Phillipines, but I don't know. |

They ride on roller skate wheels and ball bearings. Similar items used in Guatemala. Must ride rough over switch frogs. http://abpr2.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?january04/01-01-04/9201-199trollies.jpg ryarger@rypn.org |

You are both correct, they are 42" in gauge, and on the island of Negros. I believe they were built new for Insular Lumber, but I am not certain about it. These locomotives were photographed extensively by Colin Garratt, and often appear in his books. Colin J. Churcher's pictures appear to date from from the 1990s; a little while after they were dumped. The amazing 0-6-6-0 compound Mallet has since been restored, and is on display at City Hall, Sagay, Negros, Philippines. I have picture of it on my "Surviving World Steam Locomotive" CD-ROM that was taken by Rob Dickinson, but does not appear on his website. This locomotive was believed by the Insular Lumber workers to be haunted; so many were killed working around her. Shay #12 has been reported as dismantled, while I believe #14 is still intact but derelict. Shay #10 is on display, and Shay #9 is also derelict. One a related note, Rob reports that the Baldwin 0-6-0 engines at Hawaii Philippines Sugar Co., Silay, Negros, Philippines have all been sold. Most of these locomotives have been pictured either on my Surviving World Steam Locomotive program CD-ROM, or a past Update CD-ROM. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Locomotives |

I believe this is the same loco in better days. Check out the unusual six-wheel tender. Insular Lumber #7 mckay1995@comcast.net |
