SAN PABLO STATION - PRE-REBUILD

 


San Pablo: Opened 1911

The following photos, taken back in 2009, show the San Pablo railway station in Laguna.

Since this time, the station has undergone a total rebuild, a video of which is available

 HERE.



San Pablo station recently saw the reintroduction of train services, with the new Quezon Commuter operating between here and Lucena four times a day.

Departures for Lucena.
07.00
11.00
15.30
19.30
There are currently no services between San Pablo and Manila.









Despite appearances, there is a loop track for running around locomotives on the Quezon Commuter.

Shame the historic original structure could not be retained as part of the work.
Hopefully, the damage at Lucena is reversed and it does not also find itself obliterated from the face of the earth.
