The Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) announced early Saturday that the North Link connecting 
Hualien and Shulin and the East Coast line from Hualien northward have been suspended and would not assume operation until 6 pm Saturday due to the approach of the typhoon.
TRA said that passengers for trains should check for its latest updates.
The rest of the TRA services, including the West Coast Line, the East Coast Line from Hualien southward, the South Link Line and the Alishan Railway Line, remain normal operations, but are subject to changes due to weather conditions, according to the TRA.
Typhoon Malakas is expected to bring strong winds and torrential downpours in northern and northeastern Taiwan Saturday after noon, the weather bureau said, though the typhoon eye is unlikely to make landfall in Taiwan. [FULL STORY]
