When it comes to hiring a vehicle while traveling, you’re probably aware that you can rent a bicycle, motorcycle or car. But do you know that you can also hire a train?
Travel agencies, railway enthusiast clubs, and even government agencies can apply to Taiwan Railway (TR) to charter a train.
To appeal to train buffs, TR charters out special trains, including some hauled by steam engines, on branch lines such as the Pingxi and Neiwan lines.
