Beimen (Chinese: 北門車站; pinyin: Běimén Chēzhàn) (literally "North gate") is a railway station on the Forestry Bureau Alishan Forest Railway line located in East District, Chiayi City, Taiwan.[1]
History

After restoration efforts, a successful trail run of the train between Beimen Station and Alishan Station was made on 16 September 2015.[2]
