The North Main Line had the "Ilocos Special" and the "Amianan Night Express" that ran between 1973 and 1984, then the fastest services in the PNR and stopped at fewer stations compared to the "Dagupan Express". Meanwhile, the second "Bicol Express", opened in 1954, only stopped at 8 out of 66 stations of the line between Tutuban station in downtown Manila and Legazpi station in Albay. Other examples on the South Main Line include the "Peñafrancia Express", the "Isarog/Manila Limited", and the "Mayon Limited", all of these were defunct by 2013 when all intercity rail was discontinued in favor of building a new line.
