Danshui Line (TRTS)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danshui Line (TRTS)
Traditional Chinese: 淡水線

The Danshui Line (Danshuei in Tongyong Pinyin, traditional Chinese: 淡水線) is a line of the Taipei Rapid Transit System. The right of way was originally occupied by the conventional rail Danshui TRA Line of the Taiwan Railway Administration, which closed in 1988. The line began revenue service on December 25, 1997. On the southbound journey, trains set out from Danshui following the right of way of the old Danshui-Taipei railroad on an at-grade or elevated level through Beitou, Shilin and Yuanshan, after which the line runs underground to Taipei Main Station. The 22.8-km route includes 20 stations and the Beitou maintenance depot. Most of the stations along the Danshui line are built in a traditional Chinese architectural style. Passengers from Danshui require only 31 minutes to reach Taipei Main Station, where transfers to both the Nangang line and the Banqiao line can be made.

[edit] Rolling Stock

Over the years, the Danshui Line used different types of rolling stock. From the start, the line used C301 cars. In 1997, the C341 cars were introduced. In 2007, the newest cars, the C371 cars were used, replacing most of the C301 cars.
