San Cristobal PNR Bridge

Reese members visited Calamba City last April 18, 2009 to document the on-going demolition of the San Cristobal Bridge.  The Philippine National Railways will construct a new modern bridge within 2009.  The Bicol train service will resume upon completion of this bridge.

The picture above of the same bridge was taken after the opening of the line.  Reese members viewed the end of this once proud bridge.
