This is the fifth station southbound from Tutuban.

History

Pandacan was opened on March 25, 1908, as a station originally situated on the Manila Belt Line (from Tutuban to Paco), originally operated by Manila Railroad Company. Two now-defunct spur lines to nearby oil companies in Pandacan branched out from the station. [1]

The station was closed on March 28, 2024, as part of the Tutuban–Alabang segment, to make way for the construction of the North–South Commuter Railway. [2]

Near the station are landmarks such as the San Miguel Yamamura Packaging Corporation - Manila Plastics Plant, Jacinto Ciria Cruz Recreation Complex, and the residential communities of Pandacan. Located further away from the station are the Jacinto Zamora Elementary School, the Pandacan Linear Park, and the former Pandacan oil depot.
