Marilao station is a former railway station located on the North Main Line in Bulacan, Philippines. The station was once part of the line until its discontinuation in 1988.[1] It is currently being rebuilt as part of the first phase of the North–South Commuter Railway.[2][3] The new station will be linked to SM City Marilao.
History
The station was first closed in 1984,[4] but was reopened in 1990 under the Metrotren project. It was abandoned when the North Main Line ceased operations in 1997.[5] The old station was then demolished sometime after.
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,
