The study found that in a comparison of potential solutions to traffic problems in the corridor, a high-speed rail line would offer the highest transit volume, lowest land use, highest energy savings, and least pollution. [10] In July 1990 the Preparation Office of High Speed Rail (POHSR) was established [10] and a route was selected in 1991. [12]

Rail transport in Taiwan consists of 2,025 kilometres (1,258 mi) (as of 2015) of railway networks. [2] Though no longer as dominant as it once was, rail transport is an extremely important form of transportation in Taiwan due to high population density, especially along the densely populated western corridor.
Taiwan has a single north–south high-speed line, Taiwan high-speed rail. It is approximately 345 kilometres (214 miles) long, along the west coast of Taiwan from the national capital Taipei to the southern city of Kaohsiung. The construction was managed by Taiwan high-speed rail Corporation and the total cost of the project was US$18 billion.
Baguashan Tunnel (Chinese: 八卦山隧道) is a railway tunnel through Baguashan in Taiwan, located between Taichung HSR station and Changhua HSR station. With a route length of 7,357 meters, it is the longest tunnel on Taiwan High Speed Rail. Mileage of Baguashan Tunnel is TK173+021to TK180+378. [1] [2]
