Following the success of airlines’ themed aircraft and the TRA’s Jiji Line Mushroom Train, Taiwan High Speed Rail has also embraced the painted train trend, collaborating with Cartoon Network to launch a fully painted “Joyful Cartoon Train.” With cheerful and playful cartoon characters such as Adventure Time’s Finn’s best buddy Jake, the new Tom and Jerry, and The Powerpuff Girls, each taking over one of the 12 carriages, passengers are greeted with excited exclamations of “So cute!” and find themselves immersed in one cartoon story after another—enjoying an adorable, whimsical high-speed rail journey.

The “Joyful Cartoon Train” features 12 carriages, each with a different cartoon character as the painting theme. From the first carriage onwards, they are: Adventure Time – Jake, The Amazing World of Gumball, Ben 10, the new Tom and Jerry, Regular Show, The Powerpuff Girls, Chowder, Itchy & Scratchy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ben 10, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Adventure Time – Finn. The colors are vibrant and full of energy.
Inside the carriages, the baggage racks, dining tables, and aisle areas are decorated with cartoon patterns. Service items such as 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” is 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 cute “Joyful Cartoon Train” postmark, drop them in the mailbox at the station—no stamps needed—and let the cartoon train deliver their joyful messages!
In addition, Taiwan High Speed Rail has prepared exclusive limited-edition “Joyful Cartoon Train” souvenirs that children can receive when riding this special train. For detailed train schedules, please visit the official Joyful Cartoon Train event website: http://goo.gl/TmEaC.
