| 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! |
