1. The Steam Locomotive No. 9 of Taiwan Railway Marker
It is one of the earliest ten locomotives of Japan railway. The steam locomotive No. 9 had been running between Tokyo and Yokohama from 1872 to 1895. It was once the train that served the Emperor of Japan. After nearly 30 years of service, it was transferred to Taiwan by the Department of Taiwan Railway of Governor's Palace to join with the other eight locomotives of Oing Dynasty as the "Taiwan Railway Locomotive No. 9". It retired from service in 1925, and has been displayed with Teng Yung in this park as a monument of railway till today.
