A magnitude 5.2 earthquake in northeastern Taiwan Wednesday morning delayed 2,485 passengers traveling on Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) trains, the administration said later in the day.
The temblor, which struck at sea off Yilan County at 10:25 a.m., caused TRA trains to reduce their travel speed between Su'aoxin and Nan'ao stations on the North Link Line as a precaution, impacting passengers traveling on 16 separate trains, the TRA explained.
Normal operations were resumed at 12:36 p.m., the TRA said. There were no reports of damage or injuries in other areas due to the earthquake, which registered a maximum intensity of 4 on Taiwan's 7-tier intensity scale in Yilan.
