The Future[1] (Chinese: 鳴日號; pinyin: Míngrìhào) is an excursion train operated by Taiwan Railway (TR) that is composed of refurbished Chu-Kuang Express rolling stock.
[4] Meanwhile, the TRA's director-general, Chang Chen-yuan, created a committee in April of "the harshest critics of the train" and allotted 13 not-yet refurbished cars to JC Architecture (柏成設計), a Taiwanese design firm, for redesign.
[2] On 26 November 2019, the TRA announced that they are unveiling three new trainsets, each with its own theme: mountains (山景), ocean (海景), and sunset (夕景).
[6] Between 13-22 December 2019, TRA held an exhibition in Taipei Station unveiling the design of the train, which was seen as a much better improvement.
The exterior of the "sunset" train is painted in black and orange, a color scheme never used by the TRA before.
