Due to the impact of landslides caused by continuous heavy rain, a train on the Hsizheng Line in Hualien derailed near the tunnel entrance without a rockfall warning system. Experts suggest that Taiwan Railways improve their adaptation strategies to climate change by implementing high-risk slope classification and introducing advanced monitoring equipment. The incident highlighted the need for better safety measures, such as extending and reinforcing tunnels, enhancing inspection routes, and collaborating with meteorological agencies for customized severe weather monitoring systems.
