in 2006, tra took delivery of its first tilting trains, the temu1000, a series based on the jr 885 series. with a maximum operational speed of 130 km/h and the ability to round curves 25 km/h faster than the tra's other trains, the temu1000s were ideal for services on the yilan line, with its many curves. though initially christened under the banner of "taroko express", the trains were soon relegated to regular tze-chiang service-level, the only difference between them and other trains being their routes: between taipei/hsinchu/shulin and hualien and kaohsiung and changhua, though some have been seen on longer-distance runs from kaohsiung to hualien now that the emu200 and emu300 series trains are being withdrawn.
