At some stops, such as Hohsing on the Neiwan line and Chichi on the Chichi line, the equipment and station houses haven't changed since the Japanese occupation. Their quaint little wooden stations have often been used as a backdrop for television programs or commercials that seek to evoke a nostalgic, old-fashioned atmosphere.
有些小站的站房、設備甚至不改日據時期的原貌，像內灣線的合興站、集集線的集集站，它們日式木造的小站房，常成為想營造發思古幽情氣氛的戲劇節目和廣告片的場景。
