Dadu (Chinese: 大肚車站; pinyin: Dàdù Chēzhàn) is a railway station on the Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) West Coast line (Coastal line) located in Dadu District, Taichung, Taiwan.

History[]

The station was opened on 15 December 1920.[1]

Structure[]

  • There is an island platform at the station.
  • There is no overpass and underpass at the station, and so passengers have to obey the staff's instructions concerning the crossing of the railway.

Service[]

As a minor station, Dadu Station is primarily serviced by Local Trains (區間車). A few times per day a Chu-Kuang Express (莒光號) or a Tzu-Chiang Limited Express (自強號) stops at the station.
