Following the release of the Taiwan Trains Postage Stamps (I) in 2025, Chunghwa Post has chosen the theme of tourist trains and offered a set of six stamps, each valued at NT$8, printed in a se-tenant block. The stamps are hand-drawn to bring out the distinctive appearances of the trains. The stamps are described as follow:
1. The Mid-Summer Formosa Train: This train, hauled by the Queen of Steam Locomotive CT273, runs during the summer through the East Longitudinal Valley, enabling tourists to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and cultural attractions along the line.
2. The Breezy Blue Train: In the past, as many people fondly recall, Taiwan’s blue trains with a white stripe were the ordinary passenger trains throughout the island. The Breezy Blue has been refurbished to operate on the South Link Line from Taitung to Fangliao. Without air conditioning, this tourist train preserves the nostalgic experience of opening the windows to feel the breeze.
3. The Blue Diesel Railcar: This railcar was the mainstay of passenger transport in the early days. It was restored through a collaboration between Taiwan Railway Corporation, Ltd. and the Preparatory Office of National Railway Museum. It now operates on Taiwan Railways’ cruise-style trains and within the National Railway Museum, evoking memories of branch-line trains.
4. The Future Train: The aristocratic sable exterior contrasts with the classic orange of the Chu-Kuan Express, conveying a sense of reliability and dignity. The train features a business class car, dining car, and parlor car, offering a variety of viewpoints to admire the scenery as well as ample space to relax.
5. The Shanlan Train: It is a refurbished EMU500 painted in delicate shades of greenish-yellow, symbolizing mountain mist and the beauty of fields ripe for harvest. Inside, the dominant color is olive green. In the center of each car, floor-to-ceiling windows provide a panoramic view of the scenic landscapes along the route.
6. The Haifeng Train: It is a refurbished EMU500 tourist train themed around desserts. The exterior features a gradual gradient transitioning from deep blue to emerald green near the coast, while inside the cars, a lake-green color predominates. Cozy foam seats allow passengers to relax and immerse themselves in the beauty of the sea and sky.
