If this is a where is it, then my guess is Hawaii.

Is it true that the only active rails in the Hawaiian Islands is the Sugar Train on Maui?

The Hawaiian Railway Society runs excursions on 7-mi of ex-Oahu Ry., ex-US Navy trackage heading west out of Ewa on Oahu. See this web-site:

Isn't the Lahaina, Kaanapali & Pacific on Maui still running? Last time we were there in 94? they had two steamers running, a turntable at the south end of the NG track, and presumably a wye on the north end.

I believe that's the proper name for the Sugar Train.

I visited back in October, a great ride and fine people.

Here's a link to a gallery on my web pages with views of the ride:

Among other projects, they are working on another trestle (wooden) that will open up another three miles of track along the Leeward Shore towards Nankuli.

Well worth a visit and a ride!

"and presumably a wye on the north end."
Actually no wye, but rather a loop around the repair shops.
Steam is steam.. I always include at least one round trip ride when I'm on Maui, plus a little trackside observation--and yeh, the Sugar Cane guys are great.
