History

On December 1, 2019, the PNR extended their Metro South Commuter operations down to the front gate of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in Los Baños, Laguna. The track was led by the only KiHa 59 trainset of the PNR with a new white-orange livery. Pansol was one of five reopened stops.[3]
