集集支線於1922年日治時期通車,原為日月潭發電廠建設運輸材料,後因虧損一度停駛,經地方爭取轉型觀光後復駛,成為台灣觀光鐵道先驅。2021年因邊坡崩坍停駛,經整治升級後於今年6月全線復駛。

台鐵集集支線今年6月底,在彩繪列車緩緩駛入終點車埕站後,宣告迎來全線復駛,為沉寂近5年的支線觀光注入強心針,復駛首月旅客就增加近5成,後續隨著班次提升,與各風景區管理處投入鐵路、鐵馬的「雙鐵」新玩法,將串聯沿線景點,帶頭衝刺觀光,可望掀起旅遊風潮。
集集支線於日治時期1922年通車,當初是為蓋日月潭發電廠運送材料而建,路線從彰化縣二水至南投縣車埕,全長29.7公里,通車後帶起沿線城鎮發展,1986年因嚴重虧損面臨停駛,經地方爭取與轉型觀光後,成為台灣觀光鐵道先驅,沿線由檜木打造的集集站是一大亮點,終點車埕站的山城懷舊風情,更被喻為支線最後祕密花園。
請繼續往下閱讀...
2021年集集支線因邊坡崩坍,以及後續邊坡整治、鐵道升級施工,導致多個站點停駛,直到今年6月完工才迎來全線復駛。
台鐵表示,集集線目前每天23班、班距約80分鐘,待明年水里火車站列車交會功能啟用後,可增加至28班、班距縮短至60分鐘,此外,新購支線車廂60輛,預計年底交車,明年完成測試即可投入營運,未來新車廂也將提供腳踏車位。
參山國家風景區管理處指出,今年6月在世界自行車日就推出「兩鐵玩支線」活動,遊客從彰化二水騎自行車沿著「全台最美鐵道綠廊」,途經南投濁水站、綠意盎然的集集綠色隧道,最後抵達集集站,在懷舊車站周邊巡禮,再搭支線火車回彰化,改用鐵路視角欣賞沿線風情,活動頗受好評,未來將持續辦理。
日月潭國家風景區管理處則說,在支線停駛期間,就將集集站旁的老舊鐵皮攤販區拆除重建,未來將成為具備「山形」意象的半戶外市集,提供更好的休憩與購物空間,明年更會研議結合日月潭花火節,規劃鐵路搭配鐵馬遊程,讓遊客暢遊水里、車埕站,帶動當地觀光發展。

During the four-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Taiwan High Speed Rail and Taiwan Railways pointed out that the peak number of passengers returning from the north will fall on today and tomorrow, especially the super peak period from 2 to 7 pm tomorrow, with Taichung's south station being the key congestion area. The High-Speed Railway has added 176 trains, while the Taiwan Railways has added regional express trains and added stops on the Xin Ziqiang Express. People are urged to use free seats during off-peak hours to disperse the crowds.

The Taiwan Railway Corporation and The Pokémon Company have launched a Pokémon 30th anniversary themed train, which is designed to be fully covered by the EMU800 shuttle bus. Chaozhou Station in southern Taiwan is the departure and destination station in the near future. Poke balls and adventure elements are integrated into the train, and commemorative tickets, gifts and pop-up shops are provided. In the future, it will be included in the normal operation and will shuttle between the northern, central and southern sections every day.

The Taiwan Railway's Jiji branch line has resumed operation. The Nantou County government will invite social media celebrities to shoot "playable" videos to promote tourism in towns and villages along the line with the theme of attractions and food. It will also be combined with Taiwan's Haoxing Express to travel to Sun Moon Lake and other places to create a new low-carbon tourism experience.

The tourism exchange between Nantou County and Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, started in 2016 and entered its tenth year this year. The two sides signed a friendly exchange agreement to attract tourists to each other through information sharing and tourism product promotion, and prepared a limited number of 100 gifts for tourists visiting each other's cities.

New Taipei City's Huwei Leisure Agricultural Zone will hold the "Land Life Festival" on October 4. The event focuses on the cross-border integration of "land, life and art" and includes a rural sustainable market, parent-child art experience and the "Roofless Theater" created by the Tamkang University Experimental Theater Troupe. It aims to deepen the integration of leisure agriculture and local culture and allow the public to experience the connection between agriculture, culture and life through practical participation.

The Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport released the national highway traffic forecast for the third day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday (September 27), pointing out that the key congested sections in the morning include the National Highway 1 northbound Xiluo to Changhua, Nantun to Houli, Miaoli to Hukou, Yuanshan to Dahua system, the National Highway 3 northbound Dashan to Xiangshan, the National Highway 5 northbound Yilan to Pinglin and other road sections, and announced the day's diversion measures and historical traffic volume comparison.
