It is a flag stop 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.

Masili was built due to a petition of the residents of the then barangay Sumile to the Manila Railroad Company demanding for a station of their own on its Main Line South going to Legaspi.

The company then erected a flag stop shelter in fulfillment of the resident's wishes.

Surprisingly, no one bothered to correct the mistake and the barangay was now referred to its current name as a consequence.

Services become disrupted again as soon as the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic takes effect mid-March 2020.
