History

[edit]

Travesia was built around 1981 as a replacement for the Guinobatan station after a bypass line was built to avoid the steep grades at Camalig. However, it was not until February 23, 1986 when services resumed and the station opened.

After years of neglect PNR Travesia station Last Repair works were done in 2014 , when PNR was given Php1.7B for Manila-Bicol line rehab. [1] Since then the station has deteriorated and fallen to disrepair.

The PNR Travesia Station in Albat stands as a vital link in the regional transportation network. However, Due to Budget constraints the project in 2019 to repair the station was deferred. With time, the station has deteriorated significantly, necessitating an exhaustive reconstruction effort.
