Intercity Railways
There are two operators that provide intercity services in Taiwan:
- Taiwan Railway Administration (臺灣鐵路管理局) - TRA is the main operator of most passenger services and all freight services on Taiwan's 1067mm gauge traditional network. The various main lines form a loop around the island that connect most of the country's major cities, with small branch lines at various points to the interior. TRA operates both intercity trains throughout Taiwan, and commuter services into the major cities.
- Taiwan High Speed Rail (台灣高速鐵路) - THSR operates services on the new build 1435mm gauge high speed rail line connecting Taipei and Kaohsiung, on a route that runs down the western side of the island.

Famous quotes containing the word railways:
“There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
