Taiwan Railway Museum: A Journey Through Time with Retro Railway Charm and Creative Design

Stepping into the Taiwan Railway Museum, the rich historical atmosphere is captivating, but what truly caught my attention was the souvenir section. From vintage-style handkerchiefs and classically designed tote bags to creative products featuring old-era motifs and typography, each item feels like a condensed piece of railway history. Hanging cloth banners depict images of old train station architecture and vintage eye charts, instantly transporting visitors back to Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. Meanwhile, the canvas bags on display, adorned with the old "Taiwan Power Company" logo and floral patterns, combine retro aesthetics with minimalist lines, making them both nostalgic and practical. Every item here is more than just a "souvenir"—it's a piece of history that tells a story, reminding travelers of the railway's past while adding a touch of beauty to modern life. If you're a railway enthusiast or a fan of retro design, this is a place you simply cannot miss.

Platform 6 | Culture and Memory on the Railway Entering the exhibition hall, a line of words emblazoned on the gray-black wall reads: "Culture and Memory on the Railway." It's a quiet yet profound call, reminding every visitor: Railways are more than just tracks leading to distant places; they are also the texture that connects hearts and memories. From the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century to the construction of Taiwan's first intercity railway in 1887, railways have been a constant companion of the times. They have witnessed the rise of cities and the transformation of rural areas, and carried the joys and sorrows of generations of travelers. The carriages that traverse mountains and seas record countless farewells and reunions, reflecting the transformation of this land over the past century. Through text, images, and artwork, the exhibition showcases how railways have permeated literature, music, film, and painting, becoming a source of cultural inspiration. Each exhibit serves as a landmark of an era, reminding us that railways are more than just a transportation system; they are also a river of emotion.

It feels like time has been gently laid to rest. The off-white walls and old-style door frames still retain the warmth of the railway factory's former operations. Pushing open the door, the exhibition area inside is simple yet warm.

New Taipei Railway Museum | A Misty Era - Architectural Model Exhibition The moment you step into the New Taipei Railway Museum, you're transported back to the steam age. The air is thick with the scent of the railway. The exhibition opens with vibrant panels in the center. From blue trams and orange arched bathhouses to green, old-fashioned train stations, these simple yet profound illustrations lead you on a journey through the history of railway culture. This "Architectural Model Exhibition" uses scaled-down models to recreate the historical scenes of key structures along the railway line—the employee bathhouse, Taipei Main Station, and steam locomotives. The models are more than just static displays; they epitomize time itself: every window and every roof ridge tells the story of generations of human connection amidst the haze of industry.
