History

The station opened in the 1890s as the first railway station serving Apalit.^[3] It has been used for passenger and freight transportation by the Manila Railroad Company (MRR) and Philippine National Railways (PNR). The station was to be rebuilt as a part of the Northrail project, which involved the upgrading of the existing single track to an elevated dual-track system, converting the rail gauge from narrow gauge to standard gauge, and linking Manila to Malolos in Bulacan and further on to Angeles City, Clark Special Economic Zone and Clark International Airport.^[4] The project commenced in 2007 but was repeatedly halted then discontinued in 2011.^[5][6]

The station is currently being rebuilt as part of the second phase of the North–South Commuter Railway.^[1][7] Partial operations are slated to begin by 2027.^[8]
