Two preserved steam locomotives displayed on Tiyu Road (體育路), designated as municipal antiquities. C551 (later reclassified CT251) is a C55-type built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1935, one of five imported for the 40th anniversary exposition of Japanese rule; only two of the type survive in Taiwan. Both ran passenger services until 1982.

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.
