Trains #5 and #6 were Taipei Metro Wenhu/Brown Line trains, both MERTA VAL 256, the first one pictured on the left.

This line has a massive backstory, and getting built was a massive political mess, but the result is a totally elevated original VAL system modified by the Taiwanese with modern control equipment. It works, but feels like the transit equivalent of a gutted 80s computer with a raspberry pi inside running an emulator.
