Western Trunk line
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "infobox".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
Western Trunk line (Template:Zh) is a railway line of Taiwan Railway in western Taiwan.[1][2] It is by far the busiest line, having served over 171 million passengers in 2016. The total length of the line is Template:Cvt.
The line is an official classification of physical tracks and does not correspond to particular services. It is connected to Taichung line (mountain line; Script error: No such module "Lang".) at Zhunan and Changhua. Many services turn inland to take the Taichung route, then reconnect back to the main line (West Coast line). Train schedules and departure boards mark either mountain or coastal (Script error: No such module "Lang".) line to indicate the route taken.
History
The original railroad between Keelung and Twatutia was completed in 1891. The section between Twatutia and Hsinchu was finished in 1893. However, in the Japanese era, these sections were all rebuilt by the Government-General of Taiwan as part of its Taiwan Trunk Railway (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Jūkan Tetsudō) project. The Taiwan Trunk Railway was completed in 1908 with route from Kīrun (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Keelung) through Taihoku (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Taipei), Shinchiku (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Hsinchu), Taichū (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Taichung), Tainan (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Tainan), to Takao (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Kaohsiung).
The Taiwan Trunk Railway at that time went through all major cities in western Taiwan. However, the terrain around Taichū (Taichung) created a significant bottleneck for rail freight transport. To resolve this issue, the Government-General of Taiwan decided to build a Coastal Line (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Kaigan-sen) between Chikunan (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Zhunan) and Shōka (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Changhua) to relieve the congestion. The construction of the Coastal Line was started in 1919 and completed in 1922. The Coastal Line then became a part of the main West Coast Line, and the original railway through Taichū (Taichung) was named as a separate line (Taichung line).
Due to service patterns, the following lines are often collectively referred to as the Western main line (Template:Zh)
