Old Cebu Pictures: Cebu Railways

For quite sometime we have been scourging the world wide web for anything related to cebu and for that we have stumbled on some unusual finds. Old and perhaps rare photos of Cebu that somehow reflects its glorious past. Some of these pictures are being sold at Ebay and how I wish our city would take notice of and purchase these since it won’t cost them that much. There are a lot of things to learn from our past through these well preserved pictures of the bygone era.

And so this is a series of posts about old Cebu pictures that we have found on the internet and here’s the first one;

Cebu Old Railway Station

Just post comments if you knew something about the place and what it became today.

the Cebu City railyard and central station was heavily bombed during the war, however, the station was intact and even survived up to the 1950\’s.

Currently, the places now known as the South Bus Terminal, Cebu City Medical Center, LTO/Citom/ Cebu City Firestation used to be part of the railyard. The Central station itself was demolished in the late 1950s. Its location is easy to determine based on maps, the Cebu City station is located is what is now Elizabeth Mall (E-Mall.) Email me for a copy of Falek\’s CEbu City early 1900\’s map.

Wow, I never thought there was a railway thing in cebu. Hope the LRT and BRT plan of DOTC and Cebu City government would be put in place. More progress and advancement will be brought by these changes…. Go Cebu!!

Thanks for posting and sharing these treasure photos

you could actually find remnants of the railway if you travel going to the south. If you are observant you will find the path of the train and as well as the bridge. There is actually train still existing and if im not mistaken its in carcar.
