🚂A must-see for railway fans! The Time Train Station hidden in the city of Taipei (National Railway Museum Preparatory Office)

#5月好去地方2025

In the noisy corner of Taipei, there is a railway secret place quietly sealed by time──National Railway Museum Preparatory Office. Formerly known as the "Taipei Locomotive Works", it is an important base for the development of Taiwan's railways. Now it has been transformed into a museum preparatory base and is open to the public for reservation. For railway fans, this is simply a dream-level holy place, and it is a railway time journey worth visiting in person.

🛠 Hundred-year history × classic vehicles × the beauty of industrial architecture

Taipei Locomotive Works is currently the only intact train restoration base in Taiwan. Following the pace of the guide, step by step into the gap of history, it seems that you can hear the roar of the engine and the sound of workers hammering steel parts.

What's more surprising is that the park also collects and displays many classic trains that once ran on various Taiwan Railway lines:

🚆 EMU100 British electric multiple unit: It was once the most representative "Self-Strengthening" model of Taiwan Railway. It has a British-style front and a special red and yellow paint job, full of the sense of technology and nostalgia of the 1980s.
🚆 EMU400 blue electric multiple unit: It is a memory of many people's school commuting and home travel. The calm dark blue body is still unforgettable.

The two electric multiple units are quietly displayed in the open space, allowing people to appreciate and take pictures up close, and even feel the details of the body and the traces of time.

🏠 Old Taiwan Railway Factory × A microcosm of Taiwan Railway Life Culture

In addition to the train itself, the park also retains the early Taiwan Railway employee dormitory area. These Taiwan Railway buildings are low-key and warm, and are a true microcosm of the railway family life in the past. It is now planned as a "railway living area", which displays the uniforms of early employees, signal lights, railway models and daily necessities, making people feel like walking into an old movie of the Republic of China.

This is not only a display area for machinery and trains, but also a living museum of railway culture, where even the memories of people and life are carefully collected.

🎨 Cultural and creative and exhibition space × slow travel walk in the city

Although it is still in the preparation stage, the exhibition activities and guided tours that are open from time to time are already very exciting. You may encounter railway theme exhibitions, ride experiences, and even take a romantic picture of the orange light falling on the rails at sunset.
