The Hawaii Railroad Co. was formed in 1880 on the "Big Island" to link the sugar cane plantations in the North Kohala District to the Port of Mahukona. On January 10,1883, the 3 foot gauge railroad was completed as only the second common carrier in the Kingdom of Hawaii. The line was just short of 20 miles long and ran along the North and West shores of the Island of Hawaii.
NS ES44ac 1802 I agree the locomotive should be in its home turf. I was pretty excited to be able to film it though. I have read a little about Hawaiian railroading. Very interesting history. I love narrow gauge!
I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. Is that a narrow gauge track that HI Railway train is on? 🙂 I'm a little freaked out at how much the cars were wobbling on the freight train at that speed. Is it a lesser used branch track?

I think it is narrow gauge. Yeah, the track was a bit wonky on the freight line. I don't know how often they run on that line. We were just visiting.
