I'm not sure about the exact name for this type of train, perhaps someone could enlighten me, but since it's supposed to be half the size of a full sized train, I will call this 'mini-train' for now. You can catch a ride on one of these at the Sugar Factory in Hsin-Ying. It's NT100 per ride, return. Do watch out if you happen to be on one on a bright and sunny day, which is more than common in Tainan, cuz you might get roasted. Blazing sun protection is highly recommended.
『五分車』會叫五分車,是因為他車身的寬度只有國際標準約一半。因為不知道他的英文正統名字應該怎麼稱呼,所以只好先取名為"mini-train"。可至新營台糖廠搭乘。每一小時一班。每次搭乘一百元。不過南部的太陽很恐怖。如果是炎熱夏天搭乘的話,建議做好萬全的防曬措施,免得烤焦。

天仙念:台灣有三種車種:"十分車"、"七分車"跟"五分車"。五分車不用多說,就是本文圖中的那種。台鐵的車種就是"七分車"。而台北、高雄捷運的車種就是所謂的"十分車"。據導遊的說法,台灣這樣的狀況還算挺先進的呢
