Taichung Station (Chinese: 臺中車站; pinyin: Táizhōng Chēzhàn) is a railway station on the Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) Western Line (Mountain Line) located in Central District, Taichung City, Taiwan.
The station was originally constructed in 1905 and started its operation in 1908. On 16 October 2016, the elevated station was inaugurated in which the ground-level station was shut down. The first train that arrived at the elevated station was at 6:28 a.m. The ceremony was attended by President Tsai Ing-wen and Transportation and Communication Minister Hochen Tan.
The station has one side platform and one island platform. The architecture dates from the era of Japanese rule, and is classified as a National Tier 2 Historic Site. The now-defunct Taiwan Sugar Railways''s Zhong-Zhuo Line once stopped at the station. The station will be served by the Taichung Metro Red Line in the future, and more lines are planned.
