Next stop. Nowhere.
Aloha Railways. Sold out.
Each island has its own tale of railways—some heroic, others touching, a few tragic. It is a history of industry, nature and humanity. Man’s attempt to conquer mountains and valleys would forge a path to Hawaii’s plantation life that helped shape what Hawaii is today.
Hawaii's earliest history with railroads is owed to the first system that opened in 1881 on a few short miles of narrow track that was used to pull sugar cane, and ignited Hawaii’s sugar rush.
Train people.
There are history people. And, there are “train history” people. They go deep. On nearly every island there are 501C3 organizations dedicated to preserve Hawaii’s unique train history. Let’s help out this passionate and committed Hawaii history buffs.
An educational, non-profit organization dedicated to saving, restoring and protecting Hawaii's railroading history. Donate to their Museum Building Fund Raising Campaign.
Their collection of locomotives and methods is fascinating. From early ox-drawn carts to steam driven locomotives and gas powered cane trucks. Help the good people of Grove Farm.
