Oblique Aerial View of Housing Area with Narrow-Gauge Rail Track, Manila Bay Fortified Island, Philippines

An aerial view of a small housing settlement served by a narrow-gauge rail line, likely part of the military quarters area on a fortified island guarding Manila Bay, such as Corregidor. Light rail systems like this one helped move personnel and supplies across the rugged terrain of the harbor defense islands before World War II. Project: 218614
