An incident occurred last night involving a passenger clinging to the outside of a train on the Taiwan Railways. A man, after getting off at Nangang Station and failing to board in time, chose to jump onto the connector of the Taroko Express and clung on all the way to Qidu Station, eventually collapsing onto the tracks due to exhaustion. Fortunately, he did not suffer any obvious injuries. The police have intervened and will impose penalties according to regulations. His actions violated the railway law and he may face a fine of between 1,500 and 7,500 dollars. Taiwan Railways urges passengers to comply with boarding rules to avoid causing danger.

Last night (5th), an incident occurred on Taiwan Railways in which a passenger was hanging outside the train. A man took the Taroko Express train, and when the train stopped at Nangang Station, he got off to shop. In a hurry to catch the train, he unexpectedly jumped onto the coupler outside the train and clung on until Qidu Station, ultimately collapsing on the tracks at Qidu Station due to exhaustion. Fortunately, the man did not have any obvious external injuries, and the police will refer the case to the railway bureau for handling.

A man surnamed Cai was seen on the evening of the 5th at Nangang Station clinging to the coupler between the 3rd and 4th carriages of the Taroko train because he could not catch the train. Taiwan Railways stated that this behavior has violated the Railway Act, and they will request the Railway Police Bureau to impose penalties according to the law.

According to Taiwan Railways, at 8:17 PM that evening, the operator at Xizhi Station, while monitoring Train No. 448, noticed that a passenger appeared to be clinging to the coupler between carriages. They immediately called the train conductor to check and informed the control center operator. The control operator ordered the train to make a temporary stop at Qidu Station. After inspection by the staff and railway police at Qidu Station, a man was found on the tracks, and he was promptly pulled up to the platform. After confirming that he was not injured, he was taken back by the railway police for questioning to clarify the situation.

Due to the impact of this incident, the train made a temporary stop at Qidu Station, which was handled by the railway police, and ultimately departed from Qidu Station at 8:26 PM, 5 minutes later than scheduled. Taiwan Railways emphasized that the passenger violated Article 57, Section 2 of the Railway Act, which prohibits persons from entering railway tracks, and Article 71, Section 1, Clause 1, which prohibits climbing onto or jumping from a moving train. The Railway Police Bureau will issue a fine and refer the matter to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications' Railway Bureau, imposing a fine of between NT$1,500 and NT$7,500.

Taiwan Railways urges passengers to strictly adhere to riding regulations to avoid putting themselves and others at risk due to momentary negligence.
