Testing of electrified eastern rail line begins (2014/04/16)

Testing is underway for electrification of the railway line between Hualien and Taitung. When service officially begins in June, travel between Taipei and Taitung will be cut to about three and a half hours. 

After years of waiting, electrification of the rail line between Hualien and Taitung has finally entered the testing stage.


Taiwan Railways
It’s stable. Speeds are maintained and the train is punctual.

Four years were spent electrifying the line between these two eastern Taiwan cities. It is the last line to be electrified in Taiwan, with service slated to officially begin on June 26. Travel time between Taipei and Taitung will be reduced from over four hours to about three and a half. Ticket rates will be similar to those on Taroko and Puyuma trains.

Everything is going smoothly. It’s a big change, with travel to Hualien now only taking about an hour and a half. Time is money, and now (the people of Taitung) will be able to easily get to Taipei.

Various tests are underway in order for the new system to begin in June. At that time, more travelers are expected to take advantage of Taiwan Railways’ eastern line service.

電氣化通車

花蓮到台東的鐵路電氣化即將通車，而在今天早上先以電聯車試車，台鐵確定在今年6月26號全線正式通車，預計通車後台北到台東將從原本的近五小時車程縮短為三個半小時。

等了多年，花蓮到台東鐵路電氣化，終於進入試車階段。

[[台鐵試車人員]]
“都還滿穩的啊，速度都還保持在，這個時間都還準點啊” 

花4年的花東鐵路電氣化工程，全台最後一段電氣化花蓮到台東，終於在6月26號要正式通車，台北到台東車程從原本的四個多小時縮到三個半小時。，而計價方式和現有的太魯閣號及普悠瑪號相同。

[[列車副主任 徐榮富]]
“都很順利，到花蓮只不過是一個半小時而已，差很多，時間速度的話，時間就是金錢 ， 他們就可以很順利到達台北”

為了趕在六月能順利通車，工程人員正在不斷進行各階段的測試。預計屆時搭車人潮肯定又能創下另一波高峰。
