Train for Ankeng light-rail transit being tested
The first tram-train for the Ankeng light-rail transit line is being tested, a major step toward the line’s launch scheduled for the end of next year, the New Taipei City Department of Rapid Transit Systems said on Monday. The gold-colored train was produced by Hsinchu County-based Taiwan Rolling Stock Co, a subsidiary of China Steel Corp, and was delivered to the system’s maintenance facility for testing late last month. The train, one of 15 that have been ordered to be used on the line, has five cars, each of which has 62 seats, the department said. Another 14 trains are to be delivered
