Hawaiian Railway 302
Title:  Hawaiian Railway 302
Description:  Got to ride a train, yes, a TRAIN, on the island of Oahu in Hawaii today for the Hawaiian Railway’s one and a half hour train ride on the ex USN mainline. The ride is along the only remaining mainline of the USN’s line that used to go all the way to Pearl Harbor! When the USN on Oahu ceased all rail operations, they donated, I’m pretty sure, all of their locomotives to the Hawaiian Railway Historical Society, where they still run a stretch of the old narrow-gauge main to this day, only carrying people instead of ammunition. I had the pleasure of riding in the cab of the 302 today, and at one point even got to blow for a crossing, which felt awesome! Today’s photos are all at the Historical Society, either at the museum or on tracks owned by them. Enjoy the photos!

Hawaiian Railway 302’s cab
Title:  Hawaiian Railway 302’s cab
Description:  This is a shot of the interior/cab of Hawaiian Railway 302 (ex USN 65-00302). I had the unique opportunity to ride in the cab of this piece of history, as it has been in service since November of 1944! This locomotive originally served the US Navy on their mainline that stretched all the way to Pearl Harbor, and its main task was to haul ammunition for them. Eventually, however, it was retired and acquired by the HRHS, where it was restored back to working condition and serves now on the rails once again! The trip was fun, there were lots of cool things to see, and I even got to blow for a crossing at one point!

Title:  Flatcars on a side track
Description:  On our way back, headed in reverse with the locomotive pushing at the back, we passed a siding with a few old, aging flatcars that look like they haven’t moved in ages.

Hawaiian Railway 302’s builder’s plate and oiling/greasing instruction plate
Title:  Hawaiian Railway 302’s builder’s plate and oiling/greasing instruction plate
Description:  The twin plates right below where I was sitting in the cab of HRHS 302 (ex USN 65-00302)! The larger plate on top is the builder’s plate. This plate basically tells people the locomotive’s build number, class number, type, manufacturer, and location of manufacture. The smaller, black plate on the bottom contains the instructions on how to correctly oil and grease the locomotive. This plate seems to have also been installed by the Rochelle, IL Locomotive Shops.
