Image

The Chinese version (if the translation is right) seems to claim File:TRA TEMU1000 Taroko Express (TEMU1013-1014).jpg is the specific train involved. Could any train experts confirm? {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 07:57, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can't make out the number in this video, but there is no Hello Kitty livery. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 08:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That Hello Kitty livery probably is just a temporary picture put on the coaches's outer body. Now or soon after that, they removed it to look back to normal train again. Chongkian (talk) 08:35, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign language references

Referencing in the article is very good. However, all foreign language references need the |trans-title= and |language= parameters please. Mjroots (talk) 08:31, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Investigation?

Are the TTSB investigating? Mjroots (talk) 10:31, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

According to this article, President Tsai Ing-wen ordered an investigation (see https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-56612248). It would seem that the TTSB would be the entity to investigate this derailment. 23:42, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Trainset involved

Article states 1013 and 1014 involved. There's a good image of 1014 available to use (shown). Mjroots (talk) 11:05, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's in addition to the one I pointed out above. Either look fine. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 12:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

i added this picture to the Taroko Express page, since i wasn't sure if the livery was appropriate for this article, and i figured that people interested in more about the actual train involved would likely end up visiting that page anyway. also, the other page referenced the livery in the text without providing an illustration, so i thought the photo was appropriate. thanks, Mjroots! dying (talk) 03:55, 3 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template

Could we have one of those templates that's also featured in the Japanese and Chinese version? Looks something like this:

Location	Outside tunnel
	第408次太魯閣列車 ←樹林臺東→
Car No.	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
TRA No.	TED1013 (Tc)	TEM1025 (M1)	TEP1013 (T)	TEM1026 (M2)	TEM1028 (M1)	TEP1014 (T)	TEM1027 (M2)	TED1014 (Tc)
Occupants	36	52	48	52	52	48	52	36
Status	Derailed				Derailed、major deformation from collision

Tunnel official name

What is the official name of the tunnel (in which the derailment occurred) in English? Some I saw Qingshui Tunnel, another I saw is Daqingshui Tunnel. If you see from this news link: https://www.bbc.com/zhongwen/simp/chinese-news-56613249, you can see from the photo, the writing above the tunnel entrance is written 清水隧道 (English: Qingshui Tunnel) instead of 大清水隧道 (Daqingshui Tunnel).

Car numbers

The article references car numbers, but it is not easily understandable from the article how the cars are numbered. It looks like car number 8 was at the front of the train, and car number 1 is at the end of the train, but clarifying this would improve the article.

This is done, thanks to whoever took care of it. RecycledPixels (talk) 23:51, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dying did it. TheKuygerian 14:27, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the acknowledgement. i'm glad my contribution helped. i can't take all the credit, though, as TheKuygerian was the one who actually started the process. dying (talk) 23:27, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
