  • 22 July 2006: A three-car train set built especially for the Xiaobitan Branch Line begins operations.
  • 6 October 2007: Due to strong winds from Hurricane Krosa, service was temporarily suspended from 3:30 PM.[3]

When the line first opened, some people complained about noise problems.[4] Thus, sound-muffling walls were built along the tracks coming into the station.
