San Fernando railway station (Pampanga)
- San Fernando railway station (Pampanga)
The San Fernando railway station is a historical landmark in the City of San Fernando in Pampanga. The station was iaugurated by Governor-General Eulogio Despujol and Bernardino Nozaleda, the Archbishop of Manila, on February 23, 1892. José Rizal disembarked from this station on June 27, 1892 and again the next day en route to Bacolor. During the Bataan Death March in April 1942, the station served as the ending point for the 102-kilometer march from Bataan, from which Filipino and American prisoners-of-war were carted to Capas in Tarlac en route to their final destination, Camp O’Donnell.
The station has been closed since the ending of northbound rail services by Philippine National Railways over twenty years ago. The next station from San Fernando is Angeles in Angeles City, thence to SM City Clark in Angeles City (under construction; now still Mabalacat in Mabalacat) while the previous station is Apalit in Apalit, Pampanga.
