Apalit station is a railway station of the Philippine National Railways. Located in Apalit, Pampanga, the station was once part of the North Main Line until its discontinuation in 1988.[1] The station will be reconstructed under the North–South Commuter Railway project.[2][3]

History[]

This station has been used for passenger and freight transportation by Philippine National Railways and its precursors in the past. 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 planned to be reconstructed as an elevated station as part of the second phase of the North–South Commuter Railway.[2][3]
