A map of the Philippine National Railways system. Active lines are in dark orange, inactive lines are in black, historically proposed lines are in gray, and the under-construction North-South Commuter Railway is in red.

The 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 the North Main Line and South Main Line, and the various spur lines from both lines, as well as stations within Metro Manila. Former termini or terminal stations are in bold and former or defunct stations are in italic.

## North Main Line

[edit]

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.

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

The Mayor Neptali M. Gonzales II Gymnasium, which replaced and sits on the former site of Guadalupe station

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).

#### Aringay–Asin branch

[edit]

This was a 40.4 km (25.1 mi) spur line meant to connect Aringay, La Union with Baguio. However, tracks actually terminated in Asin in Tuba, Benguet. Construction on the final section leading to Baguio was halted during World War I. The Salapak Tunnel, originally meant for the line, was used during World War II as the regional headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Army. During the PNR era, the right-of-way has been sold to residents and became either roads or farmland. The local government of Aringay also proposed to the PNR to convert the Salapak Tunnel into an ecotourism zone, but PNR turned down the request since there are plans to restore the tunnel in the future, referring to the PNR North Long Haul service.[17]

#### San Pedro-Carmona branch

[edit]

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-kilometer (2.4 mi) line was opened in 1973.

Though inactive at present, PNR plans to reintroduce services to this branch line.[18][19]

#### Cavite branch

[edit]

An abandoned branch line serving Cavite City and parts of Noveleta. The first section from Paco to Binakayan, Kawit opened on March 25, 1908 and Binakayan to Noveleta (including Caridad on the Cavite short line) on May 11, 1908. Naic Line started from Paco to Naic, Cavite. At Noveleta station, another spur line leads to Cavite City. Tanza to Naic section was opened in October 20, 1911 but ceased operations and abandoned in 1936. The rail tracks, including sidings between Las Pinas and Naic stations were removed in 1937 and in 1938, the reaming portion up to Paco was finally dismantled. Two bridges at Tanza, Cavite, and Brgy. Halayhay still exists but the tracks are gone.

The Naic line is a defunct line of the Manila Railroad Company.

* Caridad – Caridad, Cavite City

The old PNR Tanza station still stands at 257 Tramo, Tanza, Cavite. It is a station on the defunct Naic line. The line from Salinas to Tanza (Santa Cruz de Malabon) in 1911 until 1936 cessation of services.

#### Pandacan-Isla Provisor branch

[edit]

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. It is planned to be rebuilt as part of the NSCR South and the modernized Long Haul project to provide the PNR with a direct link to south central Manila.

#### Mamatid-Buntog branch

[edit]

This branch line, currently inactive, is the nearest rail link to the Nuvali residential township of Ayala Land, which extends to Calamba to the south, as well as to Tagaytay. 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.

* Mamatid – Mamatid, Cabuyao
* Majapa – Majapa, Calamba, Laguna
* Canlubang – Canlubang, Calamba
* Locomotive – Canlubang, Calamba
* Buntog – Sitio Buntog, Canlubang, Calamba

#### Cabuyao branch

[edit]

The only remnant of this line is a railroad overpass crossing the South Luzon Expressway near Eton City Exit, claimed to be part of Cabuyao.[20] The branch, if active, could have linked Eton City and the urban townships of Santa Rosa to the PNR system, as well as provide freight connections to the nearby industrial complexes and as a faster alternative to the Cavite-Laguna Expressway. Being located near Asian Brewery's facilities, it could also had been a direct connection there.

The Cabuyao branch was part of the Canlubang Estate rail network operated by the Canlubang Sugar Estate, which was linked to the PNR via its Canlubang branch line.[21] This reveals that if so, the branch being connected to the PNR via the branch constituted a major link during the heyday of the sugar plantation, wherein its rail lines stretched northwards into Binan and southwards into Calamba. If revived today, that branch and others of the former CSE complex would have constituted an alternative to road transport options for the industrial complexes and the residential townships of 4 cities in SW Laguna which depend on the PNR.
