A long awaited modernization of a vital mode of public
transport, 50 years since Philippine National Railways (PNR) acquired mainline
locomotives and this is the first time in more than 40 years that PNR Metro
Commuter will be served by a new fleet.
The Philippine National Railways (PNR), led by General
Manager Junn Magno, as it officially unveils its newest Diesel Hydraulic
Locomotive and Passenger Coaches from Indonesia last, 23 December 2020.
“Today is a very welcome day indeed. It is a day where Junn
Magno and the men and women of PNR are trying to make the scenario and
environment a commitment of PNR as a beautiful activity, as a beautiful
involvement. Today, you are making the PNR look beautiful by completing the delivery
of new trains from INKA,”

The newest trains, consisting of three (3) locomotive and
fifteen (15) passenger coaches, are part of the PNR Management strategy of
re-fleeting in 2018. This delivery completes the 37 cars and 3 locomotive
procured in 2018.
GM Magno said this re-fleeting project will increase PNR
capacity to carry passengers with crushing capacity of 1,250 per set per trip.
It has a maximum design speed of 120 Kph.
The new diesel hydraulic locomotive has a water wading
capacity of 18 inches.
“Itong mga tren na ito ay high capacity, kahit umuulan
pwedeng idaan sa kalsada, walang electricals sa ilalim. Makakalusot sa baha.
‘Yung ginagamit kasi namin ngayon, nasa ilalim ‘yung diesel motor na kapag tumaas
ang tubig, masisira. Itong bago ay designed para sa 6 inches na tubig,
mailulusot sa mga baha ng Metro Manila,” GM Magno assured.
