This will be Part #3 out of Part #16 of the series of videos documenting my train ride from Alabang to Tutuban via T-930, performed by 921, hauling EMU-04/01. Part 3 covers the ride from Bicutan Station in San Martin de Porres (Saint Martin of Parish), Bicutan, Taguig, until Food Terminal Inc. (FTI) Station in Western Bicutan, Taguig.

General Electric (GE) Universal Series locomotive, Model 15C (U15C) PNR 900 Class Diesel Electric Locomotive #921 (DEL 921) + Ex-Japan Railways East (JR East) 203 Series EMU Set 04/01 (EMU-04/01) was used for service on the Metro South Commuter (MSC) line as Train #807/930 (Regular Trip – Tutuban-Alabang vice versa).

T-807 leaves Tutuban station in Tondo, Manila on 8:07 AM, and will arrive and terminate at the Alabang station terminal, Alabang, Muntinlupa on 9:19 AM, and will depart Alabang on 9:30 AM to go back to Tutuban as MSC T-930.

I went to Tondo, Manila to hang out with my Lolo (Grandfather), and to collect the eight school notebooks he bought for me. We explored the route to the Santo Niño Church of Tondo, explored the Divisorian Market, came across the ROW of the North Harbour spur line of the MRR/PNR, and explored the former MRR Tutuban Station, now a commercial district, or the well known Tutuban Center mall.

After that, he took me to Tutuban to supposedly ride T-1437, which was performed by 919. But, I had other plans. So I walked through Dagupan Street of Tondo, Manila, and crossed the first level crossing from Tutuban, the Tayuman Street level crossing – And walked through the ROW until the Yuseco Street level crossing, and until the Tayuman WYE, or the Tayuman Trianggulo, or Trianggulo ng Tayuman.

I had a trainspotting marathon there, so stay tuned.

I will first upload 17 videos under the length of 10 minutes and 5 minutes, that will fulfill my June 1, 2019 T-930 AA-TU trip series. If I compile all my footage on it in one video, it'd last an hour and twenty-one minutes. That is, if I render it, it would cost 18 GB of my internal memory. So I decided to keep them shorter than 10 minutes, divide them into 17, and upload them.

I also have another video documenting the trip from Tutuban down to San Pedro, Laguna, but it doesn't surpass one hour, like this series. Reason being is that I was aware of my battery percentage, so I had to stop recording at some points to preserve it. The video only lasts 37 minutes. When I upload and delete all the videos before it, I'll have an easier time uploading it. Because I won't divide it like I did with this one, because my internal memory had already been cleared out in that time.

Almost had Leary 913 to come with me, yet she had an outing with her bestfriends, so I let it slide.
