Bumiyahe na nga nitong linggo lamang ang pinakabagong train ng Philippine National Railways (PNR). Tinawag din itong "special train" dahil sa pinagandang pasilidad nito. 
 
Malinis, maluwag, malamig at komportableng galawan. Ito ay ilang lamang sa ino-offer ng makabagong tren ng PNR. Kung bubusisiin kasi mayroon pa itong kakaibang nagagawa. Gaya na lamang ng upuan, nari-recline, naiikot, masarap sandalan, may patungan ng paa at higit sa lahat may sidetable pa. 
 
Ang comfort room nito ay malawak. May special na lugar din para sa mga sanggol kung saan pwedeng ng magpalit ng diaper si baby.

Ang naturang tren ay donated ng Japan para sa Pilipinas. Ginastusan ito ng halos P20 Million para sa shipping at rehabilitasyon ng tren. 
 
Ang tren ay may tatlong bagon at may guaranteed seating capacity na 33 person sa kada isa nito. Kung isasama ang receiving area ng tren kaya nitong kumarga ng halos 120 katao.

</ul>Ang biyahe sa magkabilaang dulo mula Tutuban hanggang Laguna ay 1 oras at 40 minutos. 
 
Walang overcrowded ngunit paalala lamang ng PNR. Bawal manigarilyo, kumain at tumayo (standing position) sa loob ng kanilang tren.
