C-3 station (also called as 5th Avenue Station) is a Flagstop railway station of the Philippine National Railways as part of Caloocan - FTI Line. Facilities such as ramps and platforms were planned to be constructed near the railway crossing with C-3 Road in Caloocan, Metro Manila. The plans to rehabilitate this part of PNR's network were implemented but no platforms were erected.

PNR opened the C-3 station as part of Caloocan-Dela Rosa line on August 1, 2018.[1][2] It is a brand new stop for the line as it was not a designated station before in the line's history. As there are no platforms yet being erected, temporary stairs for the trains are added in the meantime to facilitate loading and unloading.

The new elevated expressway for NLEX Segment 10.1 will be located immediately beside the railway station, with neighboring houses demolished for the construction. However, the segment will only be limited to this area, as further extension of Segment 10.1 will be covered by the NLEX-SLEX connector, to be commenced after the completion of Segment 10.1.
