Governor Pascual station

Historically, the station is named after the adjacent Acacia village, where the old station once stood. Presently, it is named after the road, which is, in turn, named after Governor Wenceslao Pascual, who was the administrator of Malabon, formerly then-municipality of Rizal when it was split from Navotas.[1]

The old station was demolished during clearing operations in 2007 for the ill-fated and renegotiated Northrail. In 2018, after consultations with the Malabon City LGU, DOTr and PNR intended to restore the at-grade railway station here, despite no longer being a designated stop in the elevated Northrail system. It is the most recent expansion of the Caloocan-FTI line beyond Caloocan, and the first time in 2 decades that there has been rail activity.[2]

In September 2018, PNR engineers commenced the exploration of the site of the old Acacia railway station, and drafted plans to rebuild the dismantled rail lines there and set a target to reopen the service and station before the end of 2018.[3] A ceremony was held to officially mark the commencement of the restoration of services.[4] Soon after, railroad tracks were laid down along with ballasts. It required the restoration of Samson Road railroad crossing, which was done on November 23, 2018,[5] which enables the PNR to serve Malabon City once again. Services to Governor Pascual resumed on December 3, 2018, after two decades of hiatus.[6]

The rails that cover the radius of this station was dismantled and replaced with standard gauge tracks, which have also been dismantled for the NLEX Segment 10.1. Construction materials related to the NLEX Segment were moved to make way for the restoration of the at-grade rails.

The railroad crossing along Governor Pascual Road is pending restoration, as it was dismantled too during the clearing operations and eventual road reblocking, aimed for a planned extension to Valenzuela City.

Governor Pascual is lined with stores and establishments. Further to the west is Robinsons Town Mall Malabon, heading to Navotas, while to the east, Malabon City Zoo is located, leading back to Monumento in Caloocan City.
