The station is considered abandoned until 2019; the platform is its only noticeable vestige.[3] It is a flagstop for the line as there are no platforms yet being erected, temporary stairs for the trains are added in the meantime to facilitate loading and unloading.

History

On December 1, 2019, the PNR extended their Metro South Commuter operations down to the front gate of the International Rice Research Institute (ITTI) in Los Baños, Laguna. The track was led by the only KiHa 59 trainset of the PNR with a new white-orange livery. Pansol was one of five reopened stops.[4]
