Naga was opened on April 1, 1920, as one of the stations along the Legazpi Division line of the Manila Railroad Company. By 1938, the Legazpi Division was merged into the Main Line South. During the PNR era, Naga became the terminus of the Peñafrancia Express that was inaugurated in 1981. The service ended in 2004. Meanwhile, the present building was rebuilt in the late 2000s and was opened in 2009 for the Isarog Limited. The service became irregular by 2012 until the line was once again closed in 2014.
The Bicol Commuter, a commuter rail/local train service, was once again inaugurated in the mid-2010s. Naga is currently the southern terminus of the service.

A new Naga station will be built outside of the city center under the PNR South Long Haul project. This is to avoid congestion in the city, loosen its track curvature, and to allow for expansion of the station. The last includes additional station tracks, a freight depot and a light-duty maintenance facility.[4]
