Neiwan Line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Neiwan Line (內灣線) is a railway branch line in Taiwan run by the Taiwan Railway Administration. It is located in Hsinchu County.

[edit] History

The Neiwan Line was completed in 1950. Although this line is a branch line, its standards are comparable to those of a main line except that it is not electrified. Diesel powered Tze-Chiang Trains have been used on this route on some special occasions. It became a popular tourist site in the early 2000s.

[edit] Operations

All trains run between Hsinchu and Neiwan. The headway is approximately one hour. There has been one through-service between Neiwan and Taipei on Saturdays and Sundays since 2004.
