The Paco Railway Station, established in 1908, was once a bustling hub in the heart of Paco, Manila. It served as a key part of Southeast Asia's early railway system, connecting Tutuban to Paco and onwards to Binakayan, Cavite. Designed by architect William Parsons, who also created the Manila Hotel, the station was inspired by New York's Penn Station.

However, during the Battle of Manila in February 1945, the station became a significant battleground between Japanese soldiers and the American 37th Infantry Division. After fierce fighting, the Americans liberated the station on February 10th, adding to its historical importance.

Sadly, the station fell into disrepair over the years and was partially demolished in 1996 with plans to turn it into a mall that never materialized. Today, the Paco Central Railway Station stands abandoned, covered in graffiti, and rumored to be haunted by nearby residents.
