Wow a nice development talaga finally the Trains are back. Hopefully I could get to ride on that long route..Sir any news if ever ba na i-revive din ang Batangas-Manila route? I ask kase seems the old PNR track now are all inhabited na by residents..I call them residents kase sabi nila the govt had given away na daw sa kanila ang rights.

Yes, the trains are slowly being brought back to life. Baka sa November, meron nang Manila - Calamba Commuter Train Service na ulit.

Batangas branch line will definitely be revived as PNR plans to extend this to the Batangas International Port Terminal. Bawas trucks/traffic nadin sa kalsada. Actually, dito talaga kikita ang PNR, sa freight at cargo service.

Kung napapadaan kayo Sir sa SLEX, yung tulay ng SLEX at STAR link doon sa dulo ng SLEX dati sa Calamba, meron kayong makikitang tulay doon. Sa ilalim noon ang lumang ROW. Ginawan na talaga ng tulay para lusot padin.

Informal settlers at hindi residents ang mga iyan. Asa PNR padin ang titulo ng mga lupain na yan. Kaya eventually, madedemolish din ang mga yan.

YES..how i wish it would materialize much sooner..If it will, then I'll have a good view of the trains in my bedroom window..am just about 100-150m or so sa PNR track. Maalis na rin ang aming problem sa mga along the riles boys.

Will there be Diner cars?

It's nice to know that the railway system will be utilized again. Just maintain the clearing of the tracks of "informal settlers." They used the old trains as mobile trash basins, rendering the system unfit for civilian use. The railway system is more efficient if operated and taken care of properly.
