The railway was officially started in 1888 (14 years of Qing Guangxu), and the cross-river wooden bridge was completed in August 1889 (15 years of Guangxu). Linked to Sanzhongpu (now Sanzhong District) and Taipei Dadaoyu port head. According to the records of Japanese people, the original design was an iron bridge, but due to insufficient funds, it had to be changed to a wooden bridge. The railway tracks were laid on the bridge. The sidewalks on both sides could be opened to traffic. The north bank (east bank) had a special hole span of 28 meters. The iron-made spinning bridge can be rotated at any time to facilitate the passage of ships. The remaining bridges are 46 holes of wooden bridges with a span of 465 meters.
