Old Balaoye Railway Station (舊八老爺站) - Spectral Codex

A former stop on the Xuejia Line (學甲線), a Taiwan Sugar Corporation commercial railway that once served the dairy-producing interior of Liuying. Much of the route was later revived as the tourist-oriented Bawong Line (八翁線) in 2003, but trains on the revived line pass this old station without stopping. The small brick and concrete station house remains standing among the pastures.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
