Though it is a small station usually served only by local trains, because there is so much traffic on the mountain line and this section of it is still only a single track, the Shenghsing station plays an important role in directing north-south train traffic.
雖是小站，平常只有普通車停靠，但因為山線列車繁忙，目前又是單軌，因此勝興站身負重任，是南北列車的交會所在。
