Chiayi (Template:Zh) is a railway station in Chiayi, Taiwan, served by Taiwan Railway and Alishan Forest Railway.
History
The station was firstly constructed in 1896 and opened on 20 April 1902 with service on the West Coast line. The station was a single-story wooden structure with Japanese style with slant roof and rain-shield walls. The rail line connected to the station roughly divides Chiayi City into two regions. The region located in front of the station prospered as the city business district, while the region located behind the station was scarcely developed. Service to the Alishan Forest Railway began in 1912 from the station. The station was renovated in June 1933 to its current structure. The station is undergoing reconstruction as an elevated station to remove traffic conflicts at level crossings, due to be completed in September 2026.[2]
Architecture
The station is located 30 metres above sea level.[3] The at-grade station has one island platform and one side platform.
It is a steel concrete structure with classical symmetry design, simple gables, geometric totems and streamlined modern design. The platform roofs of the railway station were constructed with the railway tracks.
