Manila Railway 100 class

Steam and Early Locomotives

The Manila Railway 100 class of 1906 was a class of five 4-4-2 Atlantic type steam locomotives built by the North British Locomotive Company for the Manila Railway Company, a predecessor of the Philippine National Railways. They were the first tender locomotives to operate in the Philippines and the flagship of the railway from the late 1900s to the 1910s, hauling the Baguio Special, an express service between Manila and Baguio via Damortis station. Each locomotive weighed 41 metric tons, 28 percent more than the preceding Dagupan class, and the class had a distinctive tender cab and an American-style tender on bogies. After more powerful American-built locomotives began arriving in 1919, the class was relegated to sugarcane trains from 1922, and the survivors were scrapped after 1949.
