The original
Japanese-era Taitung line, built in a gauge, crossed the
Shoufeng River on a bridge to the east of the current tracks. On 1 November 1918, a station named Pinglin station (平林停車場) was built on the south bank of the river. In 1962, the station was renamed to Linrong station after the village it was located in. Beginning in the 1980s, the Taitung line was rebuilt with a gauge. During this process, a straighter route was chosen for the tracks via the Xikou Tunnel underneath the Shoufeng River, and Linrong station closed in 1982 with the opening year of the tunnel. The former station building was removed in 1988, and a park stands at its former site. The station was opened on 10 July 2018. == Services ==
