The Liujia Line ({{zh|t=六家線|p=Liùjiā Xiàn}}) is a branch line of the Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) Western Line. It is located in Hsinchu County, Taiwan. It was built to link the Western Line to the THSR's Hsinchu Station, speeding up transit times between the two forms of rail service and, by extension, downtown Hsinchu City. The opening of the line experienced slight delays and eventually opened in November 2011.{{cite news|last=Marchant|first=John Scott|title=Hsinchu's Neiwan Line steams back to life|url=http://www.taiwantoday.tw/ct.asp?xItem=179984&ctNode=445|accessdate=12 November 2011|newspaper=Taiwan Today|date=11 November 2011}}{{cite web |url=http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/2010/03/03/246617/New-rails.htm |title=New rails to link high speed and TRA trains |date=2010-03-03 |publisher=The China Post |accessdate=2011-03-11}}
