Taiwan has an extensive network of railways (1496 km as of 2003) as you can see in Taiwan rail map. Though no longer as dominant as it once was, Taiwan high population density continues to make rail transport an extremely important form of transportation, especially along the densely populated western corridor. In 2011, over 863.4 million passengers used the rail systems in Taiwan, averaging 2.36 million passengers per day. Rail transport was introduced to Taiwan during the Qing Dynasty (1891). Taiwan is the only part of the present-day Republic of China (ROC) to have rail transport (i.e., none of the small offshore islands—Quemoy (Kinmen), Matsu Islands, Pratas, Wuchiu or Taiping—have rail transport). After Taiwan was ceded to Japan, the push car railways (臺車) was brought to Taiwan. The push car railways were in general service from 1895 to the late 1940s. The railways of Taiwan include conventional rail, rapid transit systems, and high-speed rail, as well as specialized railways for tourists and industry.

Taiwan High Speed Rail (abbreviated THSR or HSR) is a high-speed rail line that runs approximately 345 km (214 mi) along the west coast of the Taiwan, from the national capital of Taipei to the southern city of Kaohsiung as its shown in Taiwan rail map. With construction managed by a private company, Taiwan High Speed Rail Corporation (THSRC), which also operates the line, the total cost of the project was US$18 billion. At the time it was built this was one of the world largest privately funded rail construction schemes. The line runs on viaducts or through tunnels for most of its length, with technology based mainly on Japan Shinkansen system mixed with European standards and system components. The THSR 700T train series is a variant of the 700 Series Shinkansen and was built by a consortium of Japanese rolling stock manufacturers.

The earliest railway in Taiwan was the Liu Mingchuan railway during the Qing dynasty. Since then, major railways in Taiwan have followed the cape gauge standard. The Hualien–Taitung Line (臺東線) was once 2 ft 6 in (762 mm), but since 1982 it has been converted to cape gauge, while the Alishan Forest Railway and the majority of Taiwan Sugar Railways are still 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) railways as its mentioned in Taiwan rail map. The Taipei Metro, Taiwan High Speed Rail, and Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit all use standard gauge rail. Because of the Taiwan extensive rail network (including many now defunct industrial narrow gauge lines which provided passenger service to rural areas), railways in Taiwan often have a romantic connotation, especially amongst the older generation who remember growing up when rail travel was the primary means of transportation between cities in simpler (and less prosperous) times. Many remember leaving their hometowns to attend school in far away cities by train or leaving via train to perform their compulsory military service.
