TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Landslides and floods in the wake of Typhoon Gaemi have delayed the full resumption of train traffic after 3 p.m. Thursday (July 25).

The bridge under one track in Hualien County over the Xiaoqingshui Creek was swept away by flood waters, per CNA. As train services had been suspended since Wednesday (July 24) afternoon, no trains were affected and nobody was injured.

In a separate incident Wednesday, landslides buried the tracks in two places between Chongde and Heren. TRC advised travelers to find out about changes to regular services from Thursday afternoon. In some cases, repairs will have to wait until after the rain stops, the company said.

Express train services along the east coast will remain suspended, but local trains will run between Shulin and Suao from 3 p.m. Trains from Taitung to Hualien are scheduled to resume service at 3:50 p.m., with service in the other direction expected to start two hours later.

Problems are not limited to the east coast, with rising waters in rivers leading to the closure of bridges and forcing the rerouting of trains between Changhua City and Chaozhou in Pingtung County. The South Link Line between Kaohsiung and Taitung via Fangliao in Pingtung County will stay closed for the day.
