History
Originally located on the Manila Belt Line, Pandacan was opened on March 25, 1908, a spur line connecting Pandacan Oil Depot up to the Isla de Provisor via Santibañez was built later.

Informations
- Pandacan was part of the Manila Belt Line, a line connecting the Antipolo Line at Santa Mesa station with Paco station on the Cavite Line.
- For unknown reasons, no one complained when the original Pandacan station building was demolished around 2008 to give way for a new one that opened a year later, due to the lowness of the platform that needed stairs door by door.
- The Keeper's Hut at Inviernes Crossing between Pandacan and Paco stations somewhat possess a mystery since every attempt to demolish it always gets interrupted.
