Taipei, July 7 (CNA) Taiwan Railway Corp. (TR) said Monday that services between Douliu, Yunlin County and Tainan are suspended due to debris and signal malfunctions caused by Typhoon Danas.
As winds and rain intensified after Danas made landfall in Chiayi County early Monday, large amounts of debris were blown onto the tracks between Douliu and Tainan, damaging signal equipment, the company said.
Trains with reserved seating on the Western Main Line were suspended before noon Monday but are expected to gradually resume service later that afternoon, the company said.
Currently, trains with reserved seating on the North Link Line (Shulin-Hualien) continue to operate normally, although adjustments will be made depending on wind and rain conditions, the TR said.
According to Central Weather Administration data, Danas, which was downgraded to a tropical storm at around 5 a.m. Monday, was 130 kilometers north of Taipei at 11 a.m., moving northwest and away from Taiwan.


Meanwhile, Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. said three services were disrupted between 11:48 p.m. Sunday and 1:39 a.m. Monday after power supplies were cut off due to debris on the tracks, impacting an estimated 600 passengers.
Following debris clearance and repairs, high-speed rail services were fully restored by 9:40 a.m. on Monday
