The Taichung Line (台中線 or 臺中線) is a line of the Taiwan Railway Administration. It is also known as the Mountain Line. It has a total length of 87.6 km, of which all but 2.1 km (the Chengjhuei Line from Chenggong to Jhuifen) is double track.

History

The Taichung Line was completed in 1908. After the coastal line between Jhunan and Changhua finished in 1922, the original line was called Taichung Line. In 1998, the construction to expand to two tracks (double tracks) was completed. Long tunnels were built to reduce the grade. Sanyi Tunnel is one of the longest railway tunnels in Taiwan.
