The Yilan Line ({{zh|t=宜蘭線|p=Yilán Xiàn|poj=Gî-lân Soàⁿ}}) is the northern section of the Eastern Line of the Taiwan Railways Administration in Taiwan. It has a length of 95 km.
History
This railroad was completed in 1924 as the Giran-sen during Imperial Japanese rule over Taiwan. It was expanded to two tracks in the early 1980s. In 2000, it was electrified between Badu and Luodong, while the remaining part was completed in 2003. On 4 December 2020, a landslide buried a section of the line between Houtong and Ruifang Station in Ruifang District, resulting in the rail service disruption along the line.{{cite news|first1=Wei-chi|last1=Cheng|first2=Jake|last2=Chung|date=6 December 2020|url=https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2020/12/06/2003748198|title=Landslide disrupts travel in the north|publisher=Taipei Times|access-date=31 December 2020}} Emergency work was then carried out to remove the 10,000 m3 debris and to restore the overhead line.{{cite news|first1=George|last1=Liao|date=6 December 2020|url=https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4070908|title=Reopening of landslide-hit railway in northern Taiwan delayed|publisher=Taiwan News|access-date=31 December 2020}} On 14 December, the line was fully reopened for service.{{cite news|first1=Ching-tse|last1=Cheng|date=14 December 2020|url=https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4077298|title=New Taipei railway line damaged by landslide reopens|publisher=Taiwan News|access-date=31 December 2020}}
