The Linkou line () was a railway branch line in Taiwan operated by the Taiwan Railways Administration. It was located in Taoyuan County and New Taipei City. The Linkou line suspended operations in December 2012.
History The railroad was originally built to transport coal to the Linkou Power Plant and was opened on January 1, 1968. Owing to the traffic policy of Taoyuan County, the local government made this line available for passenger service on October 27, 2005.
Passenger service on the Linkou line ended on December 28, 2012, followed by freight services on December 31, 2012, due to the grade-separation of the northern section of the TRA Taiwan Trunk line.
Services While still in operation, service was only on work days, excluding government holidays.
