Agdangan is a railway station located on the South Main Line in Quezon, Philippines. It was used for services such as the Bicol Express and Isarog Limited until 2012, and is currently disused while services remain suspended along much of the South Main Line.[1]
History
Agdangan was opened on May 10, 1916, then located in Unisan, as part of the expansion of the Main Line South to Calauag. It became part of the newly-established town of Agdangan in 1939. Passenger trains have not used this station since October 2012, when a derailment caused the indefinite suspension of most of the South Main Line.[2] Due to typhoon damage, informal settlers and other track obstructions, only maintenance and inspection trains have operated along this section since, with PNR continually undertaking repair work to return services along the line.[3]
