Former Mountain line

The Former Mountain line (Chinese: 舊山線; pinyin: Jiù Shānxiàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Kū Soaⁿ-soàⁿ) is a railway branch line in Taiwan operated by the Taiwan Railways Administration.

[1] Operantions were suspended on September 24, 1998 with the opening of a newer route to the west, and all stations between Sanyi and Houli closed down.

Between June 5–9, 2010, to promote tourism, the Former Mountain Line resumed service between Sanyi and Tai'an Old station using a steam locomotive numbered CK124.

[2][3] The Taiwan Railways Administration also attempted to renovate the line for operation, but the construction bidding attracted no contractors.

Since then, the Miaoli County Government has hosted an additional six events using steam locomotives.
