I came over here from New Taipei. This new locomotive is much quieter. It produces a lot less pollution. It’s also much more powerful.
The R200 is a high-performance diesel-electric locomotive supplied by a Swiss company. It has a powerful 2,700-horsepower motor. It also exceeds the Taiwan government’s standards for mobile-source pollutants. The R200 is Taiwan’s first locomotive equipped with peripheral cameras, which give views surrounding the vehicle. It’s also got engine overheat protection and automatic fire suppression, improving safety for train crews.

I got here around 7:30 a.m. I bought two keychains, two souvenir water bottles, and a mug.
At the locomotive’s launch event, rail fans flocked to booths selling R200 merchandise. The first 100 people at the event received a limited-edition R200 EasyCard.
