Impressions

Impressions from the sugar industry at Yunlin County, Taiwan. Footage covers the sugarcane crop crowing on farmland, irrigation, mechanical harvesting, loading the train cars, transportation with sugar railway and arrival at Huwei Sugar Factory. Taiwan Sugar Railways 臺灣糖業鐵路 use 762 mm narrow gauge track. The Sugar Railways were initially constructed by Meiji Sugar Co., Ltd. during the Japanese rule in the early 20th century and continued to operate well into the 1990s under the management of the Taiwan Sugar Corporation. Magongcuo line at Huwei Sugar Factory was opened in 1913. It still has industrial operation on about 16 km of track (with Diesel locomotives), being the only remaining sugarcane carrying sugar train of Taiwan as per 2021 harvesting season. Part of the railway track at the factory's switching yard and the connection line to Dounan TRA station is/was of dual gauge (762 mm & 1067 mm).

Views of an abandoned dry salt field at Cigu District, Tainan City, Taiwan. See the amazing colors and shapes of nature. Reportedly the red color of the salt originates from algae and the circular holes are being created by mating Tilapia fish.

Views of the sediment removal works at Tsengwen Reservoir, Dapu Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan. It is the biggest reservoir in Taiwan by volume. The reservoir stores water for irrigation of the Chianan Plain, Taiwan's most productive agricultural region, and provides flood control along the Zengwen River. The dam supports a 50 megawatt hydroelectric power station. Due to lack of precipitation in 2020/early 2021 (drought) the water level is rather low beginning of May 2021 (about 37 metres below max). The reservoir has suffered severe siltation (sedimentation) from the watershed comprising steep slopes of high mountain ranges (~2500 m MSL), which has caused a large reduction in its capacity. Siltation has reduced the volume of water available for irrigation and hydropower, as well as the effectiveness of the Zengwen reservoir to control flooding. Sediment removal works at the dry lakebed adjacent to Dapu Lakeside Park can be seen in this video. An armada of excavators is loading the soil onto trucks. The fleet of trucks transport the sediment to an nearby onshore soil disposal site. The sediment removal is a huge never ending reservoir maintenance work.

Views of the low water level of Chengqing Lake, Niaosong District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. Other names and spellings are Chengcing Lake (澄清湖), Chengqing Lake, Cheng Ching Lake, Dabei Lake (大貝湖), or Toapi Lake (大埤湖). The artificial lake has a surface area of ~1.03 km². Effective capacity of the reservoir is 3,370,000 m³. Previously, the lake was used to regulate the irrigation of the surrounding land. Now the lake is a source of the public water supply network (Seventh Branch of Taiwan Water Corporation) and irrigation as well as a recreational area of the Kaohsiung region. Due to lack of precipitation in 2020/early 2021 water level was rather low in 2021 April. The situation was used to carry out dredging works to restore the previous storage capacity of the lake, which was impaired by siltation.

Aerial views of historic Huwei Steel Bridge, Huwei Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan. The multi-span steel bridge spans the Huwei River near Huwei Sugar Factory Park. Financed by Dai-Nippon Sugar Co., the British-designed bridge consists of three steel truss sections of different depths and is supported by ten hollow arched piers. There are some nine more spans with associated piers towards the east bank of the river. A plaque reads: Kisha Seizo Kwaisha Osaka 1913. The track is dual gauge 762 mm & 1067 mm. The spur line once connected the sugar refinery with Dounan Station. No trains run on the bridge anymore. #Huwei #SteelBridge #SugarCaneRailway #landmark #CivilEngineering #scenery #landscape #SugarCane #sugar #industry #bridge #railway #railroad #NarrowGauge #aerial #uav #drone #HuweiTownship #YunlinCounty #Taiwan #Asia Channel support: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/WalterHagemann Music: Sweet by Benjamin Tissot www.bensound.com Royalty Free Music from Bensound Download: https://www.bensound.com/bensound-music/bensound-sweet.mp3

Views of train 3671 departing from Fangliao Station (Pingtung County) at 11:28 for Taitung. The commuter train with diesel locomotive and blue colored rail cars will be replaced by an EMU with the electrification of the south-link line end of 2020. Plan: Taking one of the last diesel powered blue commuter trains from Fangliao to Jinlun; passing through great scenery on the south-link line. Many other people had the same idea. Realizing that there would be no seat at all available (not to mention a window seat) and having a 90 minutes journey ahead (standing) the plan was changed to do some sightseeing in Fangliao instead. This included the fishing harbor, enjoying deep fried seafood and train spotting at Fangliao station. A ride with the modern EMU Puyuma express train concluded the day. The blue commuter train with diesel locomotive will resurface as historic sightseeing train in future. #railway #train #vintagerail #locomotive #tra #railtravel #trainstation #railroad #scenery #landscape #travel #FangliaoTownship #PingtungCounty #Taiwan #Asia Support: https://paypal.me/WalterHagemann Music: Modern Situations by Unicon Heads YouTube Audio Library
