The Shalun Line (Chinese: 沙崙線; pinyin: Shālún xiàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Soa-lūn Soàⁿ) is a branch line of the Taiwan Railway (TR) West Coast line in Tainan, Taiwan. It was built to link the Western Line to the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR) Tainan Station, speeding up transit times between downtown Tainan and the THSR station, with services running from Nanke railway station or Tainan TRA station to Shalun Station, next to the THSR station. The line opened on January 2, 2011.
