I believe that's the proper name for the Sugar Train. Date: 02/15/04 17:23 Re: Hawaiian Railway Society Author: Pullman 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: http://www.privatecarservice.net/hrs1003.html 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! Date: 02/16/04 12:36 Re: Oahu Railway No. 19 Author: SteveD "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. |
