Naga station

Naga station is a railway station located on the South Main Line in Naga, Camarines Sur, Philippines. It is a major station on the line, currently serving as the main terminus for the Bicol Commuter, and was formerly used by the Bicol Express and Isarog Limited Express. The station is considered the largest of all Philippine National Railways (PNR) stations in Southern Luzon. It houses the regional offices of PNR that covers the total jurisdiction over Southern Luzon. Naga was opened on April 1, 1920, as one of the stations along the Legazpi Division line of the Manila Railroad Company. By 1938, the Legazpi Division was merged into the Main Line South. During the PNR era, Naga became the terminus of the Peñafrancia Express that was inaugurated in 1981. The service ended in 2004. Meanwhile, the present building was rebuilt in the late 2000s and was opened in 2009 for the Isarog Limited. The Bicol Commuter, a commuter rail/local train service, was once again inaugurated in the mid-2010s. Naga is currently the southern terminus of the service. In 2011, the administration of Pres.Benigno Aquino pushed for the resumption of the rehabilitation of the damaged Bicol section of the railways, which was eventually completed up to Ligao City, Albay a year after. The Manila-Ligao trips were restored in early December last year, raising optimism that rehabilitation works for the railway line down to here would be completed at once so that trains would be once more seen traversing its original route deep into the central point of Albay.The service became irregular by 2012 Due to Calamities until the line was once again closed in 2014 due to lack of Rolling Stock. As of January 2014, only the existing PNR line between Naga and Sipocot in the Bicol region (35 km) remains operational. This transports approximately 1,300 passengers per day with an average load factor of 50% for the year 2014. On July 17, 2023, the Philippine National Railways conducted a test run of PNR 9000 class from Naga Station to Ligao station as preparation of restarting the service between two provinces, Camarines Sur and Albay. The local train service between Naga and Ligao will be officially open on Ju
