List of Philippine National Railways stations
Philippine National Railways used to provide passenger services in two directions from the capital, thus serving various towns and cities north and south of Manila. This list contains stations of both Northrail and Southrail, and the various spur lines from both Northrail and Southrail, as well as stations within Metro Manila. The Northrail is also known as the Green Line, while the Southrail is also known as the Orange Line. Former termini or terminal stations are in bold and former or defunct stations are in italic.
North Main Line (Northrail)
Stations along the Manila-San Fernando Line were abandoned and closed. San Fernando-Dagupan closed in 1983, Dagupan-Tarlac in 1988 and Tarlac-Malolos in 1989. The eruption of Mount Pinatubo further shortened services up to Meycauayan in 1991 until it was closed in 1997.

It would be only feasible in the future to reactive just the Sta. Mesa-Mandaluyong parts of the line and the bridge rebuilt, with possible elevated tracks on the final segment to the Guadalupe station, which links the PNR to EDSA and MRT Line 3 (the nearest stations are the Guadalupe Station in Makati and Boni Avenue Station in Mandaluyong).

Aringay–Asin branch
This was a 40.4 km (25.1 mi) spur line meant to connect Aringay, La Union with Baguio City in Benguet. However, tracks actually terminated in Asin in Tuba, Benguet. Construction on the final section leading to Baguio was halted during World War I. The Salapak Tunnel, originally meant for the line, was used during World War II as the regional headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Army. During the PNR era, the right-of-way has been sold to residents and became either roads or farmland. The local government of Aringay also proposed to the PNR to convert the Salapak Tunnel into an ecotourism zone, but PNR turned down the request since there are plans to restore the tunnel in the future, referring to the PNR North Long Haul service.[5]
- Aringay – Aringay, La Union
- Asin – Tuba, Benguet (completed section)
- Baguio – Baguio (proposed)
San Fabian-Camp One branch

San Pedro-Carmona branch
This is the last branch line that was used by PNR up to early 2000s. In 2010, the land area of the station in San Jose (now considered on the tip and under the jurisdiction of GMA Cavite between San Pedro and Carmona), was allegedly re-leased to the private sector and the old rails were dismantled halfway up to Olympia Street in Pacita Complex. The old rails still exists from Chrysanthemum Station up to Crismor Ave. in Elvinda near the old San Pedro Station and is at least still in use by the squatter's trolleys. This 3.9-kilometer line was opened in 1973.
Though inactive at present, PNR intends to reintroduce services to this branch line sometime in 2019, and a potential repair work would soon begin in preparation for the line's reopening. DOTr officials inspected the line on August 19, 2018 to review its conditions in readiness for the resumption of operations.[6]

Pandacan-Isla Provisor branch
Also known as the Santibañez line. This line had spurs leading to Isla Provisor, Luzon Brokerage Company, the closed Pandacan Oil Depot and the Johnson Picket Rope Company. It ends in what is now the Tabacalera Compound today. The bridge route's crossing in Pasig River is a mechanical swing bridge built to allow bigger ships to pass through. Today, not only is the mechanical component of the bridge nonfunctional, but the bridge itself cannot turn anymore due to the Pandacan Bridge built very close to its turning radius. The very bridge itself is still in use by trains, and occasionally by rickshaws and railskates.
