Shengsing Train Station, Taiwan

The Shengsing Train Station is situated at 164.6 km of the north-south bound cross-island railway, which begins at Keelung. It was built in April 1907 and was named Shihlioufen Signaling Station. It was renamed into train station in 1930. The old name “Shihlioufen” can still be seen at the slope close to the station. After the war, the area went under the jurisdiction of Shengsing Village, and was thus renamed again into Shengsing Train Station on 10 February 1958. At the beginning, it was only a signaling station for train traffic control, and only administration works for train crossing and transfer were carried out. Later, passenger trains and freight trains were operated in response to local needs. Freight transport was quite busy.
