A map of the Philippine National Railways system. Active lines are in dark orange.

Philippine National Railways used to provide passenger services in two directions from the capital, thus serving various towns and cities north and south of Manila. This list contains stations of both Northrail and Southrail, and the various spur lines from both Northrail and Southrail, as well as stations within Metro Manila. The Northrail is also known as the Green Line, while the Southrail is also known as the Orange Line. Former termini or terminal stations are in bold and former or defunct stations are in italic.

North Main Line (Northrail)

Stations along the Manila-San Fernando Line were abandoned and closed. San Fernando-Dagupan closed in 1983, Dagupan-Tarlac in 1988 and Tarlac-Malolos in 1989. The eruption of Mount Pinatubo further shortened services up to Meycauayan in 1991 until it was closed in 1997.

East West Line (rapid transit)

Main article: Manila Metro Rail Transit System Line 9

The PNR East West line, or MRT Line 9, is a proposed rapid transit line in Metro Manila in the Philippines, generally running in an east-west direction along the Radial Road 7 and a portion of the Radial Road 8.

The line serves 11 stations on 9.4 kilometers (5.8 mi) of line. The rails are mostly elevated and erected either over or along the roads covered, with sections below ground. The western terminus of the line is the Quiapo station infont of Quiapo Church, while the eastern terminus of the line is the Diliman station along Commonwealth Avenue in Barangay Old Capitol Site, Quezon City.

Abandoned and inactive branches

Abandoned

Tarlac-San Jose branch

An abadoned branch line serving Tarlac and Nueva Ecija. This line was also planned to be extended to Cagayan with services linking almost all the provinces in the Cagayan Valley.

Tarlac
Nueva Ecija
Isabela
Cagayan

Santa Mesa-Antipolo branch

Ceased operations when the San Juan River Bridge collapsed. Remains of the old railroad tracks from the old line are still present. The piers of the San Juan River bridge were still standing until they were demolished in 2018 due to the Skyway Stage 3 traversing through the river. It would be only feasible in the future to reactive just the Sta. Mesa-Mandaluyong parts of the line and the bridge rebuilt with possible elevated tracks on the final segment to the Guadalupe station, which links the PNR to EDSA and MRT Line 3 (the nearest stations are the Guadalupe Station in Makati and Boni Avenue Station in Mandaluyong).

Manila
Mandaluyong City
  • Mandaluyong (San Felipe Neri) - Brgy. Daang Bakal
  • Magalona - Brgy. Daang Bakal [flagstop, opened in 1974]

Pasig
Rizal

Balagtas-Cabanatuan branch

This one of the branch lines that were abandoned after WWII. The line was reopened in 1969, however once again it was abandoned in 1980. If reactivated it will serve thousands of people and tourists as well as provide freight services to the provinces of Bulacan and Nueva Ecija.

Bulacan
Nueva Ecija

Rosario-Montalban branch

An abandoned branch which used to serve the cities of Pasig, Marikina, and the province of Rizal.

Pasig City
Marikina City
Rizal

Fort Stotsenburg-Dau branch

A line from Fort Stotsenburg in Angeles to Magalang, Pampanga, if reactivated the line would also serve residents, workers and tourists travelling to and from the Clark Freeport Zone, Angeles City and Magalang, while providing a link with the transport terminals in Mabalacat.

Dau-Magalang branch

An abdandoned branch line from Dau to Magalang.

Nielson Field branch

Abandoned after Nielson Field was closed.

Legazpi-Tabaco branch

Abandoned line that served passengers and cargo going towards Tabaco City and its harbor.

Aringay-Baguio branch

An old line from Aringay, La Union to Baguio City. Due to being a mountainous route, several tunnels were constructed during the Spanish Period but abandoned during WWII. Two remnants of the line are the Aringay railroad triangle and the Century old tunnel in Brgy. Poblacion.

San Fabian-Camp One branch

This is a line to Camp One, Rosario, La Union, first railroad project attempting to reach Baguio, abandoned in 1914. A remnant is the triangle junction which was part of the railtracks which is now roads.

Arayat-Carmen branch

If reactivated, it would serve as a tourist line linking the PNR network to the Mount Arayat National Park and as a faster access to western parts of Pampanga, northern Bataan, southern Zambales and the Subic Bay Freeport Zone, with the possible construction in the future of a rail line linking the two economic zones.

Tayug branch

If reactivated the line will serve residents and freight in Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, and Tarlac.

Tarlac
Nueva Ecija
Pangasinan

San Pablo-Malvar branch

Branch line from San Pablo, Laguna to Malvar, Batangas. It was abandoned after the Los Baños to San Pablo route was built, if reopened it would serve as an alternative to the main line.

Paniqui-Camiling branch

Abandoned tram line that was operated by the Tarlac Railway Company in Tarlac

Lingayen-Camiling branch

Cancelled during the planning stages. The route was supposed to be from Lingayen, Pangasinan to Camiling, Tarlac.

Damortis-Tuba branch

Branch line abandoned before the bed was completed and before any bridges had been constructed, the only remains of this line are the two railroad tunnels in Asin Road.

Caba-Galiano branch

Abandoned before the bed was completed and before any bridges had been constructed

Paco-Naic branch

Very few, if not none of the original line exists today due to the path occupied presently by the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and various developments since the line's closure.

San Pedro-Carmona branch

This is the last branch line that was used by PNR up to early 2000s. In 2010, the land area of the station in San Jose (now considered on the tip and under the jurisdiction of GMA Cavite between San Pedro and Carmona), was allegedly re-leased to the private sector and the old rails were dismantled halfway up to Olympia Street in Pacita Complex. The old rails still exists from Chrysanthemum Station up to Crismor Ave. in Elvinda near the old San Pedro Station and is at least still in use by the squatter's trolleys. This 3.9 km line was opened in 1973.

Though inactive at present, PNR intends to reintroduce services to this branch line sometime in 2019, and a potential repair work would soon begin in preparation of the line's reopening. DOTr officials inspected the line on August 19, 2018 to review its conditions in readiness for the resumption of operations.[1]

Laguna
Cavite

Cavite branch

An abandoned branch line serving Cavite City and parts of Noveleta.

Pandacan-Isla Provisor branch

Also known as the Santibañez line. This line had spurs leading to Isla Provisor, Luzon Brokerage Company, the closed Pandacan Oil Depot and the Johnson Picket Rope Company. It ends in what is now the Tabacalera Compound today. The bridge route's crossing in Pasig River is a mechanical swing bridge built to allow bigger ships to pass through. Today, not only is the mechanical component of the bridge nonfunctional, but the bridge itself cannot turn anymore due to the Pandacan Bridge built very close to its turning radius. The very bridge itself is still in use by trains, and occasionally by rickshaws and railskates.

Rongos branch

A 1.7 km line connecting the former Rongos wharf in the Bicol River for construction purposes, dismantled after the completion of the South Line in 1938

Inactive

UP Los Baños-Santa Cruz branch

This inactive line, when reactivated, could serve passengers and freight in eastern parts of Laguna while providing a faster access to tourist and historical destinations within the province.

Laguna

Calamba-Bauan branch

As part of the Long-Haul Railway project, which includes the construction of a new line to Bicol, the Calamba-Batangas City section of the branch will be reconstructed into a new single-track line, that will be expanded to two when capacity is needed to be expanded.

Laguna
Batangas

Mamatid-Buntog branch

This branch line, currently inactive, is the nearest rail link to the Nuvali residential township of Ayala Land, which extends to Calamba City to the south. It is also a potential branch line for a revived freight service from Metro Manila in the future, since a multimodal freight terminal was from the 1990s up to 2001 served by this line via container trains from the capital region.

Cabuyao-Eton City branch

An unfinished branch line, with the only remnant being a railroad overpass in South Luzon Expressway. If completed the line would serve residents in the Eton City township area in Santa Rosa, as well as in the other urban townships in Western Laguna, providing a direct rail link to Metro Manila from these townships, which currently depend on road transport.
