Kangqiao Boulevard Railway Crossing

A living railway crossing in Yongkang

This camera looks straight down the tracks at the Kangqiao Boulevard level crossing, one of the busiest road-and-rail junctions in Yongkang District. Cars, scooters and pedestrians wait at the striped barriers while green and red signal markers point toward the neighbouring Daqiao and Yongkang stations.

Trains of the Taiwan Railways line

The crossing sits on a heavily used commuter corridor, so a steady procession of EMU500 and EMU800 local trains sweeps through the frame. Each service triggers the crossing bells and lowers the gates, offering a reliable rhythm of arrivals for anyone watching.

An overlaid timetable lists the next departures and predicted pass-through times, turning the stream into a practical tool as well as a relaxing view. It is a genuine slice of everyday Tainan transport, framed by overhead catenary and urban streetscape.

Everyday life in southern Taiwan

Beyond the rails, the scene captures the ordinary bustle of a southern Taiwanese suburb — traffic threading past the barriers, shop signage and the steady flow of a growing city district. It is a quietly compelling window onto how road and rail share space in modern Tainan.
