PNR-HSR

Original source is from video by Ainsleyfrastructure Mashups
This is the PNR-HSR Phase I Main Luzon Corridor Project
It will be a 1000km+ High Speed Rail/Bullet Train Corridor linking from Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte to Matnog, Sorsogon
It will be built on mostly elevated viaduct, and tunnels and it will include a spur line to Tuguegarao in Cagayan Valley
It will have 32 stations such as
#Bangui/Pagudpud
#Laoag
#Paoay
#Cabugao
#Vigan
#Candon
#Tagudin
#Bacnotan
#San Fernando
#Agoo
#Dagupan
#San Carlos
#Paniqui
#Tarlac
#Capas
#Clark
#Malolos
#Valenzuela East
#Tutuban
#Buendia
#Alabang
#Calamba
#San Pablo City
#Lucena
#Gumaca
#Sipocot
#Naga
#Iriga
#Ligao (Infill)
#Legazpi
#Sorsogon
#Matnog
It will be built over the old existing PNR rails and it will have a double decker section between Clark and Calamba, with tunnels at Tutuban Station to Paco Station of PNR-HSR and Construction will be Challenging here, because it will require bigger TBM for PNR-HSR
*Infill Stations for Provision
== Stations ==
For Minor Stations, it will have at least 4 floors, with 2 platforms, and 2 or 4 bypass tracks, for major stations, it will have at least 5 floors, with 4 platforms
And Tutuban Station will be the biggest and only Underground Station of PNR-HSR Phase I project with 8 platforms, expandable to 16 platforms, with 3 underground floors and 6 aboveground floors
== Cagayan Valley Branch ==
And for the Cagayan Valley Branch Line, which is part of Phase I will have 9 stations, such as
#Tarlac City
#Cabanatuan City
#San Jose City
#Aritao
#Santiago City
#Cauayan City
#Ilagan City
#Cabagan
#Tuguegarao City
#Aparri (Phase II)
== Electrification ==
It will use 25kv, 50 or 60hz AC overhead catenary or third rail for this project, this is a standard electrification type for Indian trains and bullet trains
== Trainset ==
It will use 700 series Shinkansen inspired Trainset for this project, with 16 cars, with automatic train control for safety, and standard train gauge of 1435mm
Also, it will have a width of 3380mm, and 3690mm, with Aluminum car body, Acceleration of 2.0km/h/s, deceleration of 2.7 km/h/s, with a maximum speed of up to 300-350 kph, and with a Filipino culture design
== Station layout ==
=== Minor stations ===
it will have entrance/exit, retail/food stalls and space, concourse, and platform floors.
=== Major stations ===
It will have entrance/exit, retail/food stalls, and space, foodcourt, concourse, and platform floors
=== Tutuban station ===
Floor B3 will be for platform, Floor B2 for concourse, and transfer to Manila Metro System, Floor B1 for retail/food stalls, and space, lobby for entrance/exit, Floor 2 for transfer to LRT Line 2, and PNR-NSCR and Floors 3-6 for Shopping Mall
== Viaduct Construction ==
For the viaduct construction, it will use span-by-span girder installation like in China with transporter, as well as balanced cantilever, extradosed bridge, and arch bridge for longer bridge spans
== Underground Construction ==
For the tunnel part of PNR-HSR, it will use tunnel boring machine that is efficent, eco-friendly, smart, and more faster, and for the underground stations, it will use top-down method for faster construction
== Construction Timeline ==
It's construction timeline is expected to take at least 3 years, and hoping this project will not delay construction. and for the embankment construction, it will use flying ash, recycled plastics, and more eco-friendly tech

== Station Design ==
The design of PNR-HSR Stations will be inspired by Shinkansen station with bahay na bato inspiration, it's interior design will be also inspired by Filipino culture to promote nationalism, and it will be equipped with air conditioning, and futuristic technologies
== Update as of this posting ==
There is no update yet about the PNR-HSR, let us wait for the announcements
And if there is announcement, I will upload another 1-minute video update about PNR-HSR, and if this project is completed, travel time from northernmost to southernmost point of Luzon will be only 5-6 hours
It will have depots at Bacarra, Clark, Tiaong, Juban and Tuguegarao for this project
