In 1986, when the train lines were shifted underground, the old station building began to be dismantled, leaving the NTM standing, alone, under its green canopy at the end of the bustling Kuanchien Rd., peaceful as always. It stands today, watching this vanishing hub of old Taipei, having silently borne witness to a century of ups and downs in Taiwan.
1986 年因應鐵路地下化，台北火車站的建築進行拆建，位置也遷移了，只剩台博館在綠樹掩映下，依舊靜靜地挺立在繁華喧鬧的館前路盡頭，凝視那一條消失中的台北軸線，默默見證台灣百年來的滄桑與風華。
