History

Daraga was opened in November 1914 as part of the Legazpi Division Line from Tabaco, Albay to Iriga, Camarines Sur via Legazpi City. The station was expanded in 1938 for the completion of the Manila-Legazpi Line.

After years of neglect PNR Daraga station Last Repair works were done in 2014 , when PNR was given Php1.7B for Manila-Bicol line rehab. The station building was reconstructed and reopened on September 18, 2015 to serve the Bicol Commuter trains to and from Legazpi. Since then the station has deteriorated and fallen to disrepair.

The PNR Daraga Station in Albay stands as a vital link in the regional transportation network. However, Due to Budget constraints the project in 2019 to repair the station was deferred. With time, the station has deteriorated significantly, necessitating an exhaustive reconstruction effort.
