About the Project
The NorthRail Project will provide fast and reliable mass transport services for passengers and goods between Metro Manila and Central and Northern Luzon, particularly between former military bases that have been converted and developed into industrial, economic and tourist states (Fort Bonifacio, Clark Special Economic Zone, Subic SEZ and Poro Point in La Union). NorthRail is expected to enhance and accelerate the development and growth potential of these areas in Central and Northern Luzon.
Phase1 of the NorthRail Project will cover an 83-kilometer rail line between Caloocan City in Manila to Diosdado Macapagal Airport (DMIA) at the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ) in Pampanga.
