The Manila Railway 100 class^[2] of 1906 was a class of five 4-4-2 Atlantic type steam locomotives built by the North British Locomotive Company for the Manila Railway Company, a predecessor of the Philippine National Railways. They were the flagship locomotives of the Manila Railway from the late 1900s to the 1910s and were the first class of tender locomotives to operate in the Philippines. They hauled the Baguio Special, an express service between Manila and Baguio via Damortis station in Rosario, La Union.^[3]

The locomotives were relegated to freight services in the 1920s, hauling sugarcane trains in Central Luzon until they were withdrawn and scrapped after 1948.^[4]
