North Luzon Railway Corporation

In 1995, the North Luzon Railways Corporation (NORTHRAIL) was formed and organized by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) thru the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a wholly owned subsidiary to revive the abandoned rail service North of Metro Manila. The Project is also part of the Subic-Clark Alliance for Development (SCAD) Project, which is an integral component of the W-Growth Corridor concept of North Luzon.

Executive Order No. 232 Series of 2003 directed the DOTC Secretary to exercise oversight functions over NORTHRAIL and the Northrail Project.

Subsequently, NORTHRAIL was attached to DOTC by virtue of Executive Order no. 859 Series of 2010.

To develop, construct, manage and operate a world-class and environmentally sustainable rail transport system between Metro Manila and the Central and Northern Luzon that will serve as catalyst for development, provide a viable option for commuter and cargo services, and support the growth of local capital markets.

By 2025, NORTHRAIL shall have delivered a safe, reliable and sustainable rail transport system of international standards that connects Metro Manila with Central and Northern Luzon.
