 Train stations played a role in the war, the San Fernando train station was the end of the Bataan Death March, and the train station at Capas was the last stop before camp O'Donnell. |

Philippine Train Stations in WWII San Fernando Train Station, 17th June 2017 We heard that the San Fernando Train Station in Pampanga has been restored and is being preserved as a historic landmark. The city tourist office is also located there. Historic exhibits have been created, such as a life size diorama, historic pictures and artifacts are posted or are displayed and it is free. So, I had to go and had to bait my family to go along with a promise-SM Mall after our visit! Here is an album with high resolution images. It is hard to shoot hanging images with open doors, windows and the all the lights reflecting from almost every angle; so those images are not the best! The train station is located very close to the Pampanga Provincial Capitol Building! Ask for the Train Station, not the Railway, the first term is more common! The first 18 out of 53 images have been uploaded into this Flickr album, called - San Fernando Train Station, 17th June 2017, this is the URL, they are uploaded in high resolution: www.flickr.com/photos/44567569@N00/albums/72157685480952515Here are 6 sample pictures but they are much smaller; in the album the pictures are uploaded in high resolution:  Z070. This is the front, entrance side, of the historical San Fernando Train Station in Pampanga it has been renovated and is now being preserved as a historical landmark. The train station is located very near and opposite of the street from the Pampanga Capitol Building.  Z071. This is one of several historical markers at the historical San Fernando Train Station in Pampanga it has been renovated and is now being preserved as a historical landmark.  Z072. This is the inside view, north end, of the historical San Fernando Train Station in Pampanga it has been renovated and is now being preserved as a historical landmark. Many different exhibits and photographs are being displayed. The two main things on this end are the life size diorama and the city tourist office is located here.  Z073. This is the inside view, south end, of the historical San Fernando Train Station in Pampanga it has been renovated and is now being preserved as a historical landmark. Many different exhibits and photographs are being displayed.  Z074. Across the street from the entrance side of the historical San Fernando Train Station in Pampanga is a separate Death March Memorial Marker installed or placed.  Z075. Inside the front fence of the historical San Fernando Train Station in Pampanga is the Death March Marker KP (Kilometer Post) # 102, this is the last one of the 102 km road distance from Mariveles to this train station. It is in memory of CPL Laprade D. Brown 192 Tank Battalion, U. S. Army. He died March 29, 1943 in Bilibid Prison, Manila. This Memorial Death March Marker is sponsored by Alberta M. Clayton, his sister and Maywood Bataan Day Org., Maywood, Illinois, USA. This marker is in memory of the young men from Maywood who passed thru these portals of the San Fernando Rail, most never to return to their homes and families and who endured unspeakable atrocities in the course of service to their Country. Notice: This is the 1st of 3 segments! Notice this forum has two threads dealing with train stations and or the San Fernando one: corregidor.proboards.com/thread/1609/train-stationscorregidor.proboards.com/thread/1148/san-fernando-pampanga-train-station |
