June 28 2025

The proposed freight cargo railway is expected to span 250 kilometers, connecting four major economic hubs in Luzon—the Port of Subic, Clark International Airport, the Port of Manila, and the Port of Batangas.

According to the US Embassy in Manila, the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) sealed the deal on June 26.

The USTDA will provide technical expertise related to transportation modeling, port-rail integration analysis, and legal and institutional planning.

The SCMB Railway, a major component of the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC), is expected to attract more investments.

The LEC is part of the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment of the Group of Seven (G7), aimed at providing infrastructure financing for developing countries.
