SPOTLIGHT: CALAMBA STATION 2009

Calamba station is the latest in our series looking at railway locations back in 2009.

With the recent closure of the Alabang to Calamba section, it has now become the northern terminal for rail operations to Bicol. Not that you can actually catch trains all the way to Bicol yet.

Today this station has been removed and replaced with another horrid example of modernity. :-(
