The PNR South Long Haul Project, also known as PNR Bicol is a proposed inter-city rail line in southern Luzon, Philippines.^[1] It is part of the larger Luzon Rail System,^[2] a network of long-distance standard-gauge lines being built by the Philippine National Railways throughout Luzon. It is one of the two lines that will reconstruct the historic PNR South Main Line, along with the electrified North–South Commuter Railway South section to Calamba, Laguna.

The line will initially begin at Banlic station in Calamba, Laguna and terminate at Daraga, Albay. There will also be additional extensions, infill stations, and branch lines. The masterplan line shall connect passengers from Sucat station in Muntinlupa to either the Batangas International Port, Legazpi, Albay, or Matnog, Sorsogon. Freight trains will also serve the line and there will be an eventual extension of the line to the Port of Manila.

The project is estimated to cost ₱175 billion (US$3.45 billion) and financing for the line was originally supposed to be supported by Chinese official development assistance, which was later withdrawn in 2023. Construction for the line has been delayed for various reasons. The line will be partially operable between San Pablo and Lucena by 2025, and the first phase between Banlic and Daraga will be fully opened by 2027.^[3]^[4]^[5]
