'''Angeles station''' is an under-construction elevated [North–South Commuter Railway](/source/North%E2%80%93South_Commuter_Railway) (NSCR) station located in [Angeles](/source/Angeles_City), [Pampanga](/source/Pampanga), Philippines.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Paz |first=Chrisee Dela |title=17 stations of Manila-Clark Railway announced |url=https://www.rappler.com/business/173929-manila-clark-railway-stations-revealed-dotr/ |access-date=2019-04-24 |website=Rappler |language=en}}</ref>

The station was part of the [Philippine National Railways](/source/Philippine_National_Railways) (PNR) [North Main Line](/source/PNR_North_Main_Line) before its closure in the 1980s.<ref name="PNR history" />

==History==
The station has been used for passenger and freight transportation notably by [Manila Railroad Company](/source/Manila_Railroad_Company) and the [Philippine National Railways](/source/Philippine_National_Railways) (PNR).<ref name=":1">{{cite news |author1=Orejas, Tonette |title=124-yr-old rail tracks spring to life in Angeles |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/744929/124-yr-old-rail-tracks-spring-to-life-in-angeles |access-date=September 16, 2020 |publisher=Inquirer |date=December 5, 2015}}</ref><ref name="fl1">{{Cite report|title=Consecutive station layouts|work=Main Line North|url=https://www.filipinaslibrary.org.ph/biblio/50316/|publisher=Manila Railroad Company|date=March 12, 1949|access-date=December 30, 2022}}</ref>

In April 1942, during [World War II](/source/World_War_II), local residents threw food and drinks into wagons filled with US and Filipino soldiers being transported by the [Imperial Japanese Army](/source/Imperial_Japanese_Army).<ref name=":1" />

The station was to be rebuilt as a part of the Northrail project, which involved the upgrading of the existing single track to an elevated dual-track system, [converting](/source/Track_gauge_conversion) the [rail gauge](/source/rail_gauge) from [narrow gauge](/source/3_ft_6_in_gauge_railways) to [standard gauge](/source/Standard-gauge_railway), and linking Manila to [Malolos](/source/Malolos) in [Bulacan](/source/Bulacan) and further on to [Angeles City](/source/Angeles_City), [Clark Special Economic Zone](/source/Clark_Special_Economic_Zone) and [Clark International Airport](/source/Clark_International_Airport).<ref name=":5">{{cite web|title=Off track: Northrail timeline|url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/nation/07/15/08/track-northrail-timeline|access-date=February 17, 2019|website=ABS-CBN News}}</ref> The project commenced in 2007, but was repeatedly halted then discontinued in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|last=Landingin|first=Roel|title=Chinese foreign aid goes offtrack in the Philippines|url=http://www.realityofaid.org/userfiles/roareports/roareport_452449c76e.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425082137/http://www.realityofaid.org/userfiles/roareports/roareport_452449c76e.pdf|archive-date=April 25, 2012|access-date=October 20, 2011|publisher=PCIJ (Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism)}}</ref><ref name=":32">{{cite web|title=Philippines: China-funded Northrail project derailed|url=https://www.ft.com/content/7f7f314c-522b-3a68-b6ad-4188ff607f4d|access-date=February 17, 2019|website=Financial Times|language=en-GB}}</ref>
