	Rail transport in Taiwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taiwan has an extremely extensive network of railways (1496 km as of 2003).

		Because of Taiwan's extensive rail network (including many now defunct industrial narrow gauge lines which provided passenger service to rural areas), railways in Taiwan often have a romantic connotation, especially amongst the older generation who remember growing up when rail travel was the primary means of transportation between cities in simpler (and less prosperous) times.
