Pili station is a railway station located on the South Main Line in Camarines Sur, Philippines. It is still used for the Bicol Commuter.
History
[edit]Pili was opened on April 1, 1920, as part of the expansion of the Legazpi Division line from Tabaco, Albay to Nueva Caceras (Naga), through freight services to and from Manila commenced on January 11, 1938 and passenger services on January 31.
After years of neglect PNR Pili station Last Repair works were done in 2014 , when PNR was given Php1.7B for Manila-Bicol line rehab. [1] Since then the station has deteriorated and fallen to disrepair.
The PNR Pili Station in Camarines Sur stands as a vital link in the regional transportation network. However, Due to Budget constraints the project in 2019 to repair the station was deferred. With time, the station has deteriorated significantly, necessitating an exhaustive reconstruction effort. In 2023 a Project to rehabilitate the station was Bid Out. This endeavor encompasses the complete overhaul of both the passenger shelter and platform. A crucial aspect of the project involves ensuring that the platform height elevated at 1.20 meters over a stretch of 120 meters from the top of the rail, ensuring enhanced accessibility and functionality[2]
