The Taichung line (Chinese: 臺中線 or 台中線; pinyin: Táizhōng Xiàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-tiong Soàⁿ), also known as the Mountain line (Chinese: 山線; pinyin: Shān Xiàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Soaⁿ-sòaⁿ), is a line of the Taiwan Railway. It is one of two parallel lines in Central Taiwan, passing the inland area and Downtown Taichung. It has a total length of 85.5 km (53.1 mi), all of which is double track.[1]

Departures board at the Taichung Train station on the Taichung (Mountain) Line of the Taiwan Railway Administration.

History

The Taichung Line was first completed in 1908. After the Coast Line between Zhunan and Changhua was finished in 1922, the original line was renamed the Taichung Line. In 1998, the construction to expand to two tracks (double tracks) was completed. Long tunnels were built to reduce the grade of the line. Sanyi Tunnel is one of the longest railway tunnels in Taiwan. The opening of the new segment of the line relegated the previous segment of the line to become the Old Mountain Line.

The section between Fengyuan and Daqing was rebuilt as an elevated line in 2016. Five new stations were added in 2018: Lilin, Toujiacuo, Songzhu, Jingwu, and Wuquan.[2]
