Manila Railway liveries (1885–1917)

Tercera coaches in 1904, one of the few colored images of the Manila Railway era.

There are barely any colored photographs of the Manila Railway era aside from a few postcards and postage stamps made in the 1960s. As the first locomotives of the company were British-made, there are some locomotives that were painted on the sides.

There were two different color schemes for the Manila Railway Dagupan class. Neilson Type A locomotives had a black engine while the side tanks and cab are metallic silver. The side lines between the main engine and the wheels are colored blue. Meanwhile, the Dübs Type B were fully-painted black but had red side lines. No. 17 was later fully painted black under its service with the Manila Railroad.[1]

The color scheme of later locomotives such as the Manila Railway 100 class remains unknown due to having been long scrapped.

Manila Railroad steam-era livery (1917–51)

Unlike the steam locomotives under the Manila Railway, the Manila Railroad's early motive power are fully painted black even on the side lines and the wheels.
