North Luzon Railways

North Luzon Railways, also known as the Northrail, was a planned railway system in the Philippines that would have reconstructed the old PNR North Main Line spanning Metro Manila and Clark Freeport in Pampanga, with future extensions to Subic Bay, San Fernando, La Union, and San Jose, Nueva Ecija. It was to be undertaken by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).

First proposed in 1994, the executive order designated the former American airbase at Clark as a premier airport, with a railway project mentioned and to be undertaken by the Spanish consortium, before backing out when the government later decided to put the project with financing through the Obuchi Fund by the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) in 1999, but the problems with land acquisition led to their changes on financing with the Export–Import Bank of China in 2002. The project was approved in 2003, and before the construction began a year later, there were anomalies and corruption that made the project controversial before it was scrapped in 2011. After the project was cancelled, the construction of a railway line was repurposed as the North–South Commuter Railway (NSCR), the current iteration of the development.
