The rail bike is located at the branch line of Shen’ao– between the Badouzi Railway Station and the Shen’ao Railway Station. The early Shen’ao line was a light railway with a gauge of 762 mm during the Japanese colonial period, also commonly known as the "narrow-gauge train". It was mainly used to transport sugar, salt and coal to the port for overseas transportation. It used to be a branch full of prosperity that rivalled the Pingxi Line, perhaps even better. However, with the exhaustion of the minerals and the decreased production in the coal mines, the entire line finally came to an end in 1989,for both passengers and freight transportation. Only the section from Ruifang Station to Shen’ao Thermal Power Plant was reserved t for the coal trains. Nevertheless, the operation of the power plant was discontinued in 2007, and the demand for coal transportation diminished, along with the history of the Shen’ao Branch Line – a history that began and flourished due to the industry, and end with its decline . In the wake of the opening of the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology in 2014, the Shen’ao Branch Line followed to resume its operation, so did Badouzi Station, which was re-opened to the public in 2016.
The rail bike of the Badouzi station is adjacent to the Badouzi Railway Station. Being the nearest train station to the beach throughout Taiwan, it has more to offer - to overlook from the raised station the Pacific Ocean and enjoy the view of the sea melting into the sky. Furthermore, this station crosses Keelung City and New Taipei City; This station is also the only station that embraces two cities throughout Taiwan, which makes this place very special. Standing right here, you may put your one foot in New Taipei City and put another in Keelung City at the same time. In its surroundings, there are famous tourist attractions such as the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology, Shen’ao Fishing Port and Chaojing Park. At the other end of the Rail Bike track is the Shen’ao section, which is close to the Shen’ao Station Ruins, Elephant Trunk Rock, Shen’ao Fishing Port, and the list of sightseeing spots may also further extend to Ruifang and Jiufen
