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]
In 2006, TRA took delivery of its first tilting trains, the TEMU1000, a series based on the JR 885 series. With a maximum operational speed of 130 km/h and the ability to round curves 25 km/h faster than the TRA's other trains, the TEMU1000s were ideal for services on the Yilan Line, with its many curves.
This article provides a list of operational and under construction (or approved) high-speed rail networks, listed by country or region. While the International Union of Railways defines high-speed rail as public transport by rail at speeds of at least 200 km/h (124 mph) for upgraded tracks and 250 km/h (155 mph) or faster for new tracks, this article lists all the systems and lines that ...

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.
The Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) commenced operations on 5 January 2007, after some delays in 2006. The THSR connects Taipei City in the northeast of the island of Taiwan to Kaohsiung City in the southwest. The journey time is about 90 minutes compared to ~3 hours by conventional rail. 30 Shinkansen Class 700T sets are running on the 345 km ...
For years, the two countries have considered an ambitious project that would significantly cut that travel time: a 350-kilometer high-speed rail line between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ...
