Liujia line
Railway line in Taiwan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liujia Line (Chinese: 六家線; pinyin: Liùjiā Xiàn) is a branch line of Taiwan Railway Western Line. It is located in Hsinchu County, Taiwan. It was built to link the Western Line to the THSR's Hsinchu Station, speeding up transit times between the two forms of rail service and, by extension, downtown Hsinchu City. The opening of the line experienced slight delays and eventually opened in November 2011.[1][2]
