Features :
Tai-An Station was set in the valley between two mountains. Due to the limitation of steep slope, the station was set under the roadway. As a result, the entrance was under the platform, which was a special design in Taiwan . There is an ?antique?that was worth seeing on the platform. By observing the pillars of canopy carefully, you will find that they were made by the rails produced in the early twentieth century. A clear mark of the Office of the Governor-General and a mark indicating the manufacture date in 1905 are still clearly marked on the pillars. If you walk north form Tai-An Station, you may see a bomb-shaped memorial stone on the right. ?The Revival from Earthquake Damage Memorial Stone in Taichung County ?is engraved on the memorial stone, while a Japanese description of the damage of bridge, tunnel, roadway and platform caused by the big earthquake in 1935 was craved on the memorial base.
Introduction :
On September 23, 1998, the last train left the old mountain line. Taiwan Railway Administration had changed its mountain line, and the old mountain line has been ceased to provide services. This mountain line had begun to serve people since 1908, and given service for almost 100 year. Due to the limitation of steep slope, the old Tai-An station was set under the roadway. As a result, the entrance was under the platform, which was a special design in Taiwan . There was an antique on the platform. By observing the pillars of canopy carefully, you will find that they were made by the rails produced in the early twentieth century. A clear mark of the Office of the Governor-General and a mark indicating the manufacture date in 1905 were still clearly marked on the pillars. Although old Tai-An Station was no longer in service, taking the old train still were beautiful memories of many passengers.
