At that time Lintienshan was astonishingly developed. Merely in terms of railroads, in addition to the forest line, hot springs line, and tourist line built by the Japanese (totaling 17 kilometers), in the 1960s the ROC government spent 10 years building a new rail line of 34 kilometers long at altitudes as high as 2600 meters linking up all the logging areas.
當時的林田山規模驚人，光以鐵道來說，除了日本人興建、總計約十七公里長的萬森線、溫泉線及大觀線之外，民國五十年間，國民政府又花了十年的時間，在海拔二千六百多公尺的高山間建築了一條長達三十四公里的新高鐵路，將各個伐木區連接在一起。
