"Railways in other countries have all faced the challenge of restructuring," says RCS standing director Cheng Ming-chang, who is very anxious to see railway heritage preserved. Japan, for example, has developed the Shinkansen bullet trains to provide passengers with a high-speed service, but it also has several railway museums, and steam engines have been restored to pull tourist services.
「其它國家的鐵路也都曾面臨轉型的難題」，非常關心鐵路資產保存的協會常務理事鄭銘彰說，就以日本為例，他們除了發展新幹線提供乘客便捷的服務，也有幾座鐵路博物館，還復駛蒸汽火車做觀光之旅。
