Pak Nam Pho railway station is a railway station in the Pak Nam Pho Sub-district, Nakhon Sawan City, Nakhon Sawan Province. It is 250.559 km from Bangkok railway station and is a class 1 railway station. It is on the Northern Line of the State Railway of Thailand. The station opened on 31 October 1905 as part of the Northern Line extension from Lopburi to Pak Nam Pho. The line continued to Phitsanulok in 1908. Originally, the station served as the main railway station of Nakhon Sawan Province. Passengers arriving here would often continue their journey to the city center, commonly known as Pak Nam Pho, where the Pak Nam Pho Market is located. Since the station is situated on the east bank of the Nan River, while the city center lies at the confluence of the west bank of the Nan River and the Ping River, which later forms the Chao Phraya River, passengers had to take a diesel-powered ferry downstream for a short distance to reach the end of the Nan River. The boatmen navigated carefully due to the strong currents at this point before docking at Pak Nam Pho Market. However its main purpose was removed as the new railway station built at Nong Pling replaced its role. Today, the station acts as a rail yard, a railway maintenance centre, and a junction for an occasionally-used freight line to Kamnansong Rice Mill.
