PNR Metro Commuter Line
Lucena-The PNR Metro Commuter Line was a commuter rail line operated by the Philippine National Railways. It was first inaugurated as the Metro Manila Commuter Service in 1970 and originally served the North Main Line and the South Main Line, as well as the defunct Carmona and Guadalupe branch lines. Since then, it adopted several names such as Metrotrak and Metrotren, before its present name was adopted in the late 2000s. The line was also nicknamed the Orange Line due to its designation in the 1970s.
The line had 36 stations serving Metro Manila and Laguna. It was divided into two sections which met at Tutuban station in Tondo, Manila. The Metro North Commuter section ran from Tutuban to Governor Pascual station in Malabon and was colored light green on the system map of PNR. On the other hand, the Metro South Commuter section ran from Tutuban to IRRI station in Los Baños, Laguna and was colored orange on the system map of PNR. Some stations connected to LRT Line 1 and 2, and MRT Line 3.
The line ceased operations on March 28, 2024, to give way for the construction of the North–South Commuter Railway Extension Project (NSCR-Ex). Despite this, plans are underway to reinstate its tracks at a later date following the completion of the NSCR.
