Antong Railway Station (安通車站) - Spectral Codex

Established in 1928 and renovated into a more modern station house, likely in the 1980s. At its peak in the mid-1970s it was serving over 100,000 visits a year but with declining usage and rerouting of this section of the railway line it was abolished in 2007. After a period of abandonment it was converted into a bicycle service center, Antong Cycling Station (安通鐵馬站), starting in 2009. Since it was never profitable it was abandoned again in 2012. The station platform remains intact along the bikeway that still passes by here.
