History

Tramo Street follows the abandoned line of the Manila Railroad Company (MRR, now Philippine National Railways) that stretched from Paco Station all the way to Cavite City.[2] The Cavite Line was built in 1908 and train services ceased in 1936. Subsequent development of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport has led to the closure of a big segment of the old line in Pasay and Parañaque. The line resumes in La Huerta where it is still also called Tramo Road running for 4.6 kilometers all the way to Zapote in Las Piñas en route to the line's terminus in Cavite. The road's name is Spanish for branch or line, referring to the Cavite Line which was a branch of the Manila tranvia or tramo del tranvía.
