Fenchihu is scheduled to return to normal on Wednesday as the line recovers from damage created by Typhoon Soudelor, the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) said Monday.

Except the section between Chiayi and Fenchihu, the other part of the tourist railway was back to normal operations on Monday.
The TRA said railway maintenance is expected to be completed by Tuesday, and the line will resume normal operations on Wednesday. [FULL STORY]
