Linkou Line

A train at Nanxiang Station

The Linkou Line (Chinese: 林口線; pinyin: Línkǒu Xiàn) is a railway branch line in Taiwan formerly operated by the Taiwan Railway Administration. It is located in Taoyuan City and New Taipei City. The Linkou line is no longer in operation, having been suspended in December 2012.

History

The railroad was originally built to transport coal only (relevant with Neiwan Line) and completed in November 1986. But owing to the traffic policy of Taoyuan County, the local government made this line available for passenger service on October 27, 2005.

On December 28, 2012, service was suspended.

Services

While still in operation, service was only on work days, excluding government holidays.
