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.

Liujia branch

The Liujia Line, which connects TRA's Hsinchu station and THSRC's THSR station, branches off from the Neiwan Line.[1]

Operations

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

The Neiwan branch line closed temporarily between Hsinchu and Jhudong on 28 February 2007. This was to allow construction of the Liujia Line. The line was reopened on 11 November 2011. [2]
