Taiwan Railways Express (TRA) train No. 229 heading north derailed after colliding with debris carried by a mudslide at the entrance of the Heren Tunnel, with the train now temporarily stationed at Chongde and Hengren stations. Each car of this new type of TRA train costs 70 million NTD, totaling nearly 800 million NTD for the entire train. The repair is expected to take time as equipment needs to be imported from Japan. The incident caused injuries to nine people, including the train driver, with 525 passengers involved still shaken.
