Taichung Line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Taichung Line (台中線) is a line of the Taiwan Railway Administration.

[edit] History

The Taichung Line was completed in 1908. After the coastal line between Jhunan and Changhua finished in 1922, the original line was called Taichung Line. In 1998, the construction to expand to two tracks was completed. Long tunnels were built to reduce the grade. Sanyi Tunnel is one of the longest tunnel in Taiwan.
