Malolos station is an under-construction elevated North–South Commuter Railway (NSCR) station located in Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines.[1]
The station was part of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) North Main Line before its closure in the 1980s.[2]
Malolos station (Spanish: Estacion Ferrocaril de Malolos) was opened on March 24, 1891 as part of Ferrocaril de Manila-Dagupan. Services from Manila to Dagupan commenced on November 24, 1892. It was then named Estacion de Barasoain Y Malolos, as it is located near the Malolos poblacion and the Barasoain Church. The original station was destroyed in 1945 and was replaced with the current one. It was later abandoned after the ending of northbound services by the 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.[3] The project commenced in 2007, but was repeatedly halted then discontinued in 2011.[4] [5]
It is currently being rebuilt as the terminus for the first phase of the North–South Commuter Railway.[6] [7] As part of the project, the old station will also be restored.[8] Partial operations are slated to begin by 2027.[9]
The station is located adjacent to the station include La Consolacion University Malolos, Bulacan Provincial Capitol, Bulacan State University, Puregold Jr. Malolos, and the Malolos City Terminal Hub. Located further are Barasoain Church, the Malolos City proper, and Camp General Alejo S. Santos.
