is one of the most highly anticipated projects in the country considering that it will be handy for those residing in Bulacan that are going in and out of the busy city of Metro Manila. Upon completion, it is expected to cut travel time between Quezon City and San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan to just 35 mins.
is a massive railway project that is a 36-km long subway that will go down as the first mass underground transport system in the Philippines. It aims to accommodate 1.5 million passengers daily while reducing the travel time between Quezon City to NAIA Terminal 3 to 35 minutes.
The following are sources of moisture affecting a railway track except
is a diagram or physical structure that defines the maximum height and width dimensions in railway vehicles and their loads. Their purpose is to ensure that rail vehicles can pass safely through tunnels and under bridges, and keep clear of platforms, trackside buildings and structures.
Due to its wide coverage, _______ is expected to serve as an essential part of growing the economy. The government agency divides the 148 km railway project into three segments. The first one is the PNR Clark Phase 1 which aims to cut down travel time between Manila and Malolos to just 35 minutes. Meanwhile, the PNR Clark Phase 2 will reduce the travel time between Makati and Clark International Airport to 55 minutes, which can help go hand-in-hand with NAIA upon completion. Lastly, the PNR Calamba. It is constructed to bring travel time between Manila and Calamba to an hour only.

In a four-aspect colour light signaling,
is the fee paid by a passenger for the use of a public transport system: rail, bus, taxi, etc.
Which of the following wayside is true?
is a system used in railway signaling to detect the clear or occupied status of a section of track between two points. The system generally consists of a wheel sensor (one for each end of the section) and an evaluation unit for counting the axles of the train both into and out of the section.
is an electrical device used to prove the absence of train on rail tracks to signallers and control relevant signals.
means putting two shipping containers on top of each other. This way, special railroad cars - called well cars - carry almost twice as much cargo
This means that trucks can drive onto a railroad flatcar and drive off when the train reaches the endpoint.
