Want to Take CK124 Steam Engine at the Historical Mountain Railroad from Sanyi to Taian in August ?

     While I was searching for road closures information updates for my blog after Typhoon Soala hit Taiwan, I came across article stating that Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) will run its CK124 steam engine on the historical mountain mountain railroad from Sanyi station to Taina station in Aug. The old railroad was closed in 1998 and started operating only for the summer of 2010. It had attracted a lot of railway's fans, anticipating this event and a lot of people lost their opportunity for attending due to limit seats.
     Also, this event has increased Maoli County's travel revenue and improved its economic aspects. The government asked TRA to continue its effort to schedule the event in 2011 and 2012. Below is the information which I found on TRA cruise-style train website.

     The schedule will be on Aug 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, 26 and 31. Booking date varies, please check the schedule below. If you need more information, please check its website or call the agent directly.




Above information was taken from TRA official website:

Update:
     The Maoli government has just announced that it will ask TRA to run the train starting on Sept. 29 to Oct. 27, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
