5th Avenue station (also called as C-3 Station) is a railway station of the Philippine National Railways as part of Governor Pascual - FTI Line. Facilities such as ramps and platforms were planned to be constructed near the railway crossing with C-3 Road in Caloocan, Metro Manila. The plans to rehabilitate this part of PNR's network were implemented but no concrete platforms were erected.

PNR opened the 5th Avenue station as part of Caloocan-Dela Rosa line on August 1, 2018. [1] [2] It is a brand new stop for the line as it was not a designated station before in the line's history. As there are no platforms yet being erected, temporary stairs for the trains are added in the meantime to facilitate loading and unloading.

The new elevated expressway for NLEX Segment 10.1 is located immediately beside the railway station, with neighboring houses demolished for the construction, reducing the railtracks to 1. A further extension of Segment 10.1 will be covered by the NLEX-SLEX connector, currently under construction.
