The “Happy Cartoon Train” consists of 12 carriages, each with a unique cartoon character theme painted on the exterior. Starting from the first carriage, they are: Adventure Time—Jake, The Amazing World of Gumball, Ben 10, The Tom and Jerry Show, Regular Show, The Powerpuff Girls, Chowder, Itchy & Scratchy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ben 10, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Adventure Time—Finn. The colorful designs are full of energy.

Inside the carriages, decorations such as luggage racks, dining tables, and aisle walls are adorned with cartoon patterns. Service items including paper cups, headrest covers, wet wipes packaging, napkins, and even the attendants’ aprons are all thoughtfully designed with various cartoon prints. A special “Happiness Transfer Station” has been set up in the aisle of Carriage 7, where passengers can pick up free cartoon-themed postcards. After filling them out, they can stamp them with the adorable “Happy Cartoon Train” postmark, drop them in the mailbox at the station—no stamp needed—and let the cartoon train deliver your cheerful messages!

In addition, Taiwan High Speed Rail has prepared exclusive limited-edition “Happy Cartoon Train” souvenirs for kids who ride this special train. For details on train schedules, please visit the Happy Cartoon Train event website: http://goo.gl/TmEaC.
