The railway between Taitung and Guanshan (formerly known as Lilong) was originally a light railway (also known as hand-held track) operated by private people since Meiji 43 (1910). At the end of the 8th year of Taisho (1919), Taitung Sugar Co., Ltd. changed this section to a 762 mm sugar railway, which was called the Taitung Sugar Company Line. In the 11th year of Taisho (1922), the Ministry of Railways of the Governor's Office of Taiwan purchased the Taitung Sugar Company Line, which was connected with the Taitung Line from Hualien Port to Pushige (now Yuli Town), called the "Taiwan Southeast Line" and became a state-owned railway. The Taitung Government Garage is one of the three main garages (Hualien, Yuli, and Taitung) of the Taitung Line Railway. It is a Japanese-style half-timbered over-the-roof building. The garage has a high ceiling on the first floor, RC structure, and the gable wall serves as the entrance and exit of the locomotive, without a door. Trapezoidal roof truss (truss), two slope water roof. The Prince Building is raised in the center, and windows are decorated on both sides to facilitate ventilation and discharge steam. Dig deep in the garage, and then use concrete pillars to support the rails to facilitate the maintenance of the staff. In 1969 (1980), the Huadong Railway was widened, and the Taitung Office Depot was responsible for important maintenance tasks. After the opening of the Southbound Railway in 1981, the Taitung Locomotive Division moved to Yanwan, and the Taitung office garage was successfully retired. After dismantling the office building made of cypress wood in the Taitung locomotive depot, the Taiwan Railways was once prepared to demolish the Taitung government garage. After appeals from people from all walks of life, it was preserved. The Taitung Government Garage is the only remaining fruit of the three major organ garages on the Eastern Line. The rails in the garage are removed after the abandoned station, leaving behind the concrete pillars and workbenches to become a unique space. The old station in Taitung was abandoned on May 31, 1990. The Taitung County Government made a model for the preservation and reuse of the old station in Taitung the following year. The Taitung government garage is planned as the "Railway Art Museum" of an art exhibition space. Connect the business district in front of the station, the living area behind the station, the railway corridor, Tiehua Village and the Taitung Story House, etc., to activate the vitality of the old Taitung station.
