Yup. The PNR tracks are in no way suited for high speed rail.

Imagine, the pedicab boys plying the route trying to get out of the way of a train going over 100 km/h...

It's quite nice to hear the sound of the train, again, after it being gone for so long... it was such a big part of my (sleepless) childhood...

It also makes commuting from here to Manila in the morning much easier for so many people. It was sorely missed.
