My parents sell lunch materials, so they work almost year-round. Even though I grew up in Changhua, I didn’t know there was a train hotel neither a unique world-class sector garage in Changhua. Through Mr. Chen-hong Ma’s professional introduction, this visit opened my eyes. The sector garage has great equipment, which provides all kinds of repair and maintenance services for locomotives. It was very comfortable sitting outside the garage under a lush banyan and listening to Mr. Ma’s wonderful explanation. When standing at the very high observation deck, we overlooked the entire sector garage and felt the beauty of the Changhua Railway. The tour of the sector garage can broaden horizons, so I’d like to recommend everyone come to visit!
We should thank Teacher Chang-hung for leading us to visit Changhua Cultural Relic Hall, which was established by Director Su in 2002, with various cultural relics. Teacher Chang-hung performed the driver’s throwing of guide board from the train, and we could feel the high skill of the train drivers in the early period! It was most amazing to visit the roundhouse, the steam locomotive CK101 with an age of 98 years old was put in No.1 roundhouse, and the most shocking was the actual operation when the turntable started the pulling locomotive. Later we visited the railway model shop of Chao-ting Yang, the railway Fukui Dinning Hall of Chao-fu Chen, which had their own characteristics and blended railway into life. The most important was the establishment of Jingsiou Station Cultural Hall, which inherited the 110 years’ old story of Yuanlin Railway in Jingxiu Station, so that the story of the demolished Railway Yuanlin will not be forgotten because of the Yuanlin Elevated Railway.
