Brief Introduction
|
Ershuei Station was previously called “Erpashuei Station” and was built in 1918. Later, as the Taiwan Railways took over the Jiji Branch, and the passenger and cargo transportation volume sharply increased that time, a simple and crude wooden storehouse was built for operations. In 1920, the station was renamed “Ershuei Station.” In 1933, as the Jiji Branch and the passenger and cargo transportation volume of North-South Railways increased, a station building was built of steel reinforced bar and cement. This construction was novel in the Central Taiwan that time and became something that the people of Ershuei were proud of. Since then, the station building was renovated and structures were added to the building, through the dedicated efforts of stationmasters. Through their efforts, Ersheui Station is well equipped with facilities.

What you should know

◆ First Station: Jiji Line The development and prosperity of Ershuei Village is closely related to trains. During the Japanese Occupation Era, there were three railways (North-South Railways, Jiji Railways, and Taiwan Sugar Railway.) No other village had three railways in one village. Therefore, the people from Ershuei have developed a passion for traditional trains. The Jiji Railway was constructed in 1930. In the early years, during the construction of Sun-Moon Lake power station, this railway line was used to carry construction materials. Later, the crops along the railway line was also carried by railways. However, as highway transportation is very convenient, the railways have already transformed into a train for sightseeing and recreational purposes. The Jiji Line branched out from the North-South Railway of this county, from Ershuei Station, along Yuancyuan, Jhuoshuei, Longcyuan, and Shueili, and the northern coast of Jhousheui River till Nantou. The whole trip covers a total distance of 29 km.

In the developmental history of Changhua Plains, irrigation facilitated the development of land. Jhuoshuei River is the best water source. In the beginning of the 18th century, Shih shi-ban developed the Pabo River, and led water from Ersheui to Jhuoshuei River to irrigate the Changhua Plains, thereby fully developing the Changhua Plains. Pabo River is the river that covers eight areas, including the 18 villages of Changhua County. Therefore, it can be said to be the largest river system in Taiwan during the beginning of the Ching Dynasty.
