The train trips between Albay and Camarines Sur would resume starting on Monday, six years after the Philippine National Railways suspended its operation in the two Bicol provinces.
There will be two daily trips between Ligao City in Albay and Naga City in Camarines Sur, a 5:30 a.m. Ligao-Naga commute, and, at 5:30 p.m., from Naga to Ligao, said Joel Dajac, PNR officer in charge of Area 2 operations department, on Sunday.The two trips will have flag stops in the towns of Pili, Baao, and Bato and Iriga City in Camarines Sur; and in Polangui and Oas in Albay.
Dajac said the operation, which was halted in April 2017, would use a diesel hydraulic locomotive that has three air-conditioned coaches that can carry about a thousand passengers.
