Historyedit
The Taichung Line was first completed in 1908. After the Coast Line between Zhunan and Changhua was finished in 1922, the original line was renamed the Taichung Line. In 1998, the construction to expand to two tracks (double tracks) was completed. Long tunnels were built to reduce the grade of the line. Sanyi Tunnel is one of the longest railway tunnels in Taiwan. The opening of the new segment of the line relegated the previous segment of the line to become the Old Mountain Line.
