Old Meycauayan Train Station

Dinala ng pagkakataon sa isang dating nakagawian,

taglay ang mga aral na hindi naman pa nalilimutan.

At sa aking pagdating sa isang pangarap na landasin,

Patuloy akong namangha sa nais kong mithiin.

Mga lihim na itinago ng mga dumi at alikabo;,

Isang isang katotohanang hindi lahat ay makaaarok.

Mga matalinhagang nakaraan na bumuo ng ngayon,

Mga bagay na bubuhay ng bukas. 

Padayon.

Sa paghakbang tungo sa katuparan ng panaginip,

Tanging dalangin ng aking puso at isip,

Na sa bawat makakakita sa lumang estasyon ng tren na ito,

Maibalik kayo nito sa nakaraang bumuo sa inyo.

The Old Meycauayan Train Station located along McArthur Hi-way in Saluysoy has played a huge role in the history of Philippine-American war as it passed through the province of Bulacan. Anyone who has watched the film Heneral Luna by Jerrold Tarog might find it interesting that the actual Artikulo Uno was discovered by Gen. McArthur nailed in the door of this very train station. Also, it stood as witness to the bloody encounter between Gen. Antonio Luna and the American forces.

Efforts to conserve the building (which is one of the few two-storey train stations still standing today) have been continuously exerted, and as of 2017, the local government of Meycauayan had expressed their desire to revive the station in lieu with the reconstruction of the PNR line.

Right now, entrance is not permitted. The building had suffered from a great case of vandalism and deterioration, 

but evidences of the past can still be seen in the structure.
