"The Alishan Mountain Railway is not just a means of transportation," argues Su Chao-hsu, author of The Mt. Ali Railway. "The railway is a 'living antique' that has great historical value in and of itself. It provides us with an incomparable feast of nature and a rich historical and cultural journey."
「阿里山森林小火車不只是交通工具而已；火車本身就是極具歷史價值的活古董，它帶給我們的是無比的自然饗宴與最豐富的歷史文化之旅。」
