Guiguinto Station
History
The original railway station, then known as the Estacion de Guiguinto, was inaugurated in 1891 under Manila Railroad Company. It was the first railway station serving Guiguinto. It is a notable historical landmark in the municipality. It was upon this site that the Katipuneros ambushed a train from Dagupan, killing six friars, including the parish priest of Guiguinto, Fr. Leocadio Sanchez, and a Spanish doctor. It later became part of the Philippine National Railways's North Main Line.
The station was to be rebuilt as a part of the North–South Commuter Railway (formerly 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 in Pampanga. The project commenced in 2007, but was repeatedly halted then discontinued in 2011.
