Below is a photographic look at the new Tutuban station (Manila) during trackwork in 2009.
The original station, now 'Tutuban Centermall', was located some distance beyond the 'Philippine National Railways' offices seen in the background. For some year, passengers had to board at the temporary Tayuman station, located at the north end of the yard.

From left to right, a rake of near extinct CMC/CTC railcar stock, a GC open wagon, two fuel tankers and the 7A class coaches that were then dwindling in number due to the arriving ROTEM railcars.

Interesting to note that another track, to the left of the CMC/CTC railcars, used to lead down to Manila North Port and, much earlier, the Pasig River. While the line still exists, much of it has been covered and is not visible.
