Taipei’s National Railway Museum, also known as the Taipei Railway Workshop, preserves Taiwan’s railway history in historic maintenance buildings. The large main hall brings together trains, machinery and exhibits about railway work and daily life around the railways. Look for the “Motive Power & Rolling Stock” display, which explains locomotive servicing through detailed exhibits and videos. You can also walk through former maintenance halls and operational areas to see how railway equipment was handled.
Inside the former railway workshop
The museum is also known as the Taipei Railway Workshop. Its historic buildings and railway equipment give the site a connection to the work carried out behind Taiwan’s rail network. The displays cover both the trains and the people and tasks involved in keeping railway operations running.
The large main exhibition hall contains more than train displays. Information about railway history and the life surrounding the railways helps place the machinery in context.
Locomotive servicing and the heritage train
The “Motive Power & Rolling Stock” exhibit focuses on how locomotives were serviced. Detailed displays and videos explain the processes involved, while the maintenance halls and operational layouts let you see the spaces where railway work took place.
A heritage train ride is also available for an additional fee. Advance booking is recommended, and the ride costs NT$100 per person. The permanent Diesel-Electric workshop costs NT$100 per person.
