頭城尋龜之旅 ─ 龜山車站

(本文發表於101.08.10奇摩部落格)

去年我從台北搭火車到頭城參加千龜來朝活動,途中看見一個名叫『龜山』的小車站(位於大溪與外澳之間)。該站曾因年代久遠(設於1920年)且木造結構損壞嚴重,於民國74年改建成水泥建築。又因出入旅客人數不多,鐵路局在民國88年將它從三等站降為甲種簡易站(只停靠區間車),並責由頭城站負責管理。

這次頭城尋龜之旅最後一站,就是要來拜訪龜山車站,雖然該車站位於往來頻繁的濱海公路旁,可是必須爬上數十個階梯才能看見車站入口,所以遊客往往與它擦身而過而不知,真的非常可惜!

龜山車站設有二座月台彼此靠天橋連接通行,該站雖然派有人員駐守,但實際只有一人兼任行車安全與售票、剪票等工作,因此買票時,必須在窗口旁按鈴等候該員出來為您服務。

我向售票員表示想買一張龜山站車票做為收藏,售票員問我說:「你想買到哪一站?」我隨口說:「都可以!只要便宜一點就好」他接著說:「那就買頭城站孩童票比較便宜」。等我接過車票一看,上面居然出現一個有趣的組合,害我忍不住哈哈大笑,一旁的小朋友好奇地問老師說:「那個叔叔怎麼了!為什麼一直在笑呢?」老師說:「他可能太高興了,所以才一直笑個不停!」幸好那群小孩子沒有跑過來問我,不然,我不知該如何回答才好。

買完車票後急忙騎車趕回頭城,準備坐火車到台北再轉乘長途客運車回台南,結束這二天一夜的頭城尋龜任務(石空古道探訪、青斗石財神龜、三訪龜山島以及龜山車站)

石龜車站

(本文發表於101.11.22奇摩部落格)

在全台大小共219個火車站中,站名有『龜』的車站只有二個,一個是之前曾介紹過的龜山車站,另一個則在雲林縣的石龜車站,我想聽過或來過的人應該不多吧!

石龜站位於雲林縣斗南站與嘉義縣大林站之間,當時台鐵縱貫鐵路通車時並沒有規劃在石龜地區設站,一直到了民國47年左右才在此設立號誌站(僅供火車會車使用),接著,民國60年設立石龜車站(站等為簡易站),不過,因為出入的旅客並不多,台鐵經過幾年慘淡經營後,決定自民國66年起將它降為無人招呼站迄今。如今車站裡早已「人去站空」徒留一張小小的火車時刻表,令人感到無限唏噓。

我對於『石龜』這個地名非常好奇,經上網搜尋後發現當地並沒有石龜或者與有關的東西,而是另有一段典故。話說四百多年前大陸東南沿海各省,許多生活困苦的居民不惜冒著生命危險,飄洋過海到台灣避難,進而紮根發展聚落。

這裡的先民是來自福建省南靖縣,隨著開墾與建設使得居民越來越多,最後成為一個大聚落,基於思鄉情懷故將此地稱為「南靖厝」(註:房屋結構好,打算長期居住者稱為「厝」;房屋簡陋,因應短暫生活稱為「寮」)。後來,部分居民逐漸向南擴充發展,最後竟比南靖厝還要繁榮,這時先民想起大陸家鄉有條不知名的溪流,溪中有很多石頭和烏龜,於是就將此新興聚落定名為「石龜溪」。台灣光復後,因為行政區域重新調整劃分,石龜溪被分成石龜里和石溪里二里,另外南靖厝也改為靖興,這就是石龜地名的由來(以上參考斗南鎮石龜地區一文)

從大林站到斗南站之間整段鐵路,除一彎道外,其餘皆為長直線,因此列車通過石龜站時,通常都以破百時速行駛(區間車除外)。另外,早期石龜車站並沒設置人行天橋,旅客出站時得趁火車通過的空檔,趕緊跨越鐵軌離開。後來台鐵班次增加,火車通過頻繁,為了旅客的安全,才設置一座跨站人行天橋供第二月台旅客出站使用。不過,興建初期並未搭建遮雨棚,遇到下雨天旅客仍需撐傘通行,如今所見的遮雨棚是後來再加蓋上去的。

在石龜車站的外牆上,有二處以石塊打造的龜裂面,上頭還貼著三個白色大字「石龜站」,令人印象非常深刻,最後,拜託同行友人幫我拍一張合影相片做為永久留念。

當龜真好特展(下)

(原文在98.11.01奇摩部落格發表)

之前在台北青少年育樂中心所舉辦的「當龜真好特展」已經在八月底結束了,而當初借展的一百多件烏龜模型,也於九月中旬由龜龜樂園阿修專程護送回來,圓滿結束第一次外借展出的經驗。(預告:第二次借展將於今年年底展出,地點是在基隆港陽明海洋文化藝術館,展出期間為期一年)

由於阿修深知我非常喜歡收藏烏龜的相關物品,因此還特地送我一些跟展覽有關的紀念品,如:「當龜真好特展」海報、布旗、大圖輸出和特製的長頸陶土烏龜以及「在海底飛翔」電影海報等。

除了以上這些東西,另外還有一隻大型鱷龜雕塑模型,是我這次北上參觀雕塑大師文子工作室時意外發現的作品,當時曾有意將它帶回,但礙於行李太多無法裝下,因此請求阿修南下時幫忙載回。

另外,還有一張「2009瀕危龜類保育行動研討會」海報是文子特地郵寄給我收藏,在此一併向他們二位致謝。

上個月接到台北龜龜樂園簡伯修先生(阿修)來電,得知在台北市青少年育樂中心將會有一場「當龜真好」特展,他想邀請我提供一些烏龜模型參與展出。由於我從未有過類似經驗,所以不論模型的挑選或者打包、裝箱都來的特別謹慎。

我與阿修原本並不相識,我只是從網路上得知有這麼一位愛龜成癡進而成立全台第一家龜龜樂園的達人。或許我們的動機與心願相同(為了想讓更多的人了解烏龜的世界),因此就決定提供一百四十多件烏龜模型來共襄盛舉。

據阿修告訴我,這次是台北市青少年育樂中心主動與他合辦這場烏龜特展,展出的時間是在六月十九日到八月二十三日為期二個多月,展出內容包括各式各樣的活體烏龜、模型、郵票、錢幣以及彩繪烏龜等活動,內容十分豐富歡迎大家前往參觀。
