In 1998, the construction to expand to two tracks (double tracks) was completed. Long tunnels were built to reduce the grade. Sanyi Tunnel is one of the longest railway tunnels in Taiwan.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
