Does Taiwan have any old steam train with smoke and coal… ones that are working?

That’s how a steam locomotive works.

I think they sometime run historical steam trains… no idea what the current status is. I imagine the TRA website will have info on this.

There are a few of them parked down the street from my home. I don’t think they work though.

The TRA have (I think) a couple of Steam Locomotives that are in working order. I think their ‘home’ is the Roundhouse at Changhua.

There are a couple of Shay’s at Alishan.

Saw one on the coast line around Tongxiao last year, marking the 100th anniversary for the line.

今年重啟3趟次，包括7月15日、8月5日及19日，沿途停靠花蓮縣玉里、富里、台東縣池上、關山、瑞源、山里及台東站，每班270個座位開賣後即秒殺。

I wouldn’t ride this in the summer, given the axle can overheat so easily…
