This is one of the few surviving (though sadly not operational) steam locomotives that once climbed up and down Mt. Alishan in Jiayi, Taiwan. It is not in very good shape, being caged in the Jiayi park, without access from anyone including maintenance personnel.
The railway ride is an adventure even these days with diesel, as the track is not exactly very safe and prone to interventions by Mother Nature in form of typhoons, quakes or just rain.
