MRR Marikina station

Last December 30, I visited this galvanized-iron structure beside Shoe Avenue in Marikina City, Shoe Avenue was the former tracks of the MRR Rosario-Montalban Line that was in operation from 1906 to 1936, local residents confirmed that this is the former railroad station.

Marikina (spelled then as Mariquina) was the only station building left on the former line, the rest of the stations, including the flagstop at Brgy. Sto. Niño no longer exists, also, Marikina was left of the station buildings erected using galvanized-iron sheets, similar structures such as those in Santa Mesa, Cabanatuan, Dau, Fort Stotsenburg were replaced with concrete ones in the 1920s.
