(Central News Agency, reporter Huang Chiao-wen, Taipei, June 4) The Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) stated that to prevent bamboo along the tracks from potentially touching the catenary wires, it blocked the line for emergency repairs starting at 11:40 a.m. today to cut the bamboo. This resulted in single-track two-way operation between Sijiaoting and Qidu, and operation on the central and western main lines between Qidu and Xizhi. Some trains are delayed, and repairs are expected to be completed by 12:30 p.m.

Regarding the bamboo cutting to prevent contact with the catenary wires, the TRA announced the above information on its official website. (Editor: Wu Su-rou) 1150604
