On September 13, a reporter from Nandu learned from the Taiwan Railway Management Department that during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, some sections of railway failed, and many passengers were waiting for the train at the station with large bags of luggage. Residents and passengers around complained that they were greatly affected. According to statistics from Taiwan Railway, the failure affected a total of 396 trains and about 77,249 passengers.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, a signal light failure occurred in the Changhua section of Taiwan Railway Changhua, Yuanlin to the flower bed. Because the axle counter communication cable on the railway track was disturbed by unknown stray current, the signal light still showed a red light after the train had passed the level crossing, and the three level crossing fences could not rise normally, seriously affecting traffic.
It is reported that a malfunction in the Taiwan Railway during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday caused serious errors and caused dissatisfaction among local people. Due to the delay of the train, a large number of passengers were waiting for the train at the station with large bags of luggage. Residents and passengers around complained that they were greatly affected. After more than 70 hours of emergency repair, the fault gradually resumed normal driving. According to statistics from Taiwan Railway, from the morning of the 8th to the early morning of the 11th, the failure has affected 396 trains and about 77,249 passengers, with a total delay of 14,766 minutes.
Railway said that it will immediately review each axis counter system in the future, increase backup, schedule regular schedules for preventive maintenance, and implement maintenance history to maintain the best system functions. As for why the communication cable of the shaft counter is disturbed, Taiwan Railway said it is still inquiring and repairing, including induction current , mechanical equipment, etc., and related repairs and troubleshooting will be completed as soon as possible in the future to restore smooth operation of Taiwan Railway.
According to previous reports from Nandu, Taiwan Railway had previously experienced accidents and abnormal situations such as trains catching fires, hitting pedestrians, and bruising workers. Public opinion on the island criticized the Taiwan Railway for its many hidden dangers. The so-called "reform" of the Taiwan authorities has made no progress. The loss of life caused by personnel struggles reflects that the factional struggle for power and profit in the Taiwan Railway reflects that the factional struggle for power and profit are everywhere, but they cannot see the ruling politicians put their hearts on making profits for the people, but instead seeking profits for themselves everywhere.
