Badu Station platform

Badu Station (Chinese: 八堵車站; pinyin: Bādǔ Chēzhàn) (formerly transliterated as Patu Station until 2003) is a railway station at the junction of the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) Western Line and the Yilan Line. It is the western terminus of the Yilan Line and is located in Nuannuan District, Keelung, Taiwan.

History

The station was opened in 1899. It has served as an important transfer station between the Western Line and the Yilan line since 1919, when the first segment of the Yilan line was built in the same year. The current station building was completed in 1986, and a memorial to the victims of the February 28 Incident was unveiled outside the station in 1994. Now it is one of the busiest stations in southern Keelung, with more than 5,000 passengers per day as of 2014.
