MANILA, Philippines — Trains from Japan are expected to start coming in next week to augment the Philippine National Railway’s (PNR) present fleet of railway cars running in Luzon, the PNR announced Wednesday.

PNR spokesperson Paul de Quiros said the first batch of trains donated by East Japan Railway Co. (JR-EAST) is expected to arrive in the country around Sept. 12-15. The first set of trains coming, he said, is composed of 20 rail cars, which would be used for both Metro Manila and provincial travels.

He told Manila Bulletin that once inspected and field tested, 10 of the cars would be made to service passengers in Metro Manila, and seven would be made to service travels to and from Bicol.
