Baguio Line in Camp One
The Baguio line was a branch line from the North Rail that branched out in the town of San Fabian ending in Camp 1. I went in Camp one on December 21, 2010 and these are all I got. Nothing was left, no tracks no rail bed no station. These are pictures of the Bued river, the San Fabian triangle, pathways where the rails used to be, and where the station used to be. Please Just compare the 2 black and white pictures to the rest.

Pathway where the rail used to be.
One of the 3 streets of the San Fabian triangle. In front of the Y, one going left the other going right.
Former Dept. Of Tourism Bus Stop in the middle of the San Fabian Triangle begore Kennon road going to Baguio. The bldg is circular, thats why when you look at the San Fabian triangle in google satelite/map theres a circle in the middle. It stoped its operations in the 90's when all buses going to Baguio was routed to Marcos and Naguilian hiway.

Pictures below is the area of the end of the line and where the camp 1 station used to be is inside a quary. A quary is a rubble factory (gumagawa ng graba for construction). Its exactly like Fred Flintstone's job. The area is well guarded and people there dont know anything about the former lines and station and they refuse to let me enter to take pictures.
According to the old people in Camp 1, the rails ended in the area where the stone crusher machine of the quary was located. They say the stone crusher machine used to run in the rails until it was replace with a non moving machine. This was as close as I can get to it, security was tight.
This was where the Camp 1 station used to be. It has been long demolished and these houses took its place. These houses were actually the house and office of the owner of the quary.
