The Hawaiian Railway Society
The Hawaiian Railway Society was formed in 1970 to save what remained of Hawaii's railroad history. This educational, non-profit organization was able to place the remaining stretch of track on Oahu (from Ewa to Nanakuli) on the State and National Registers of Historic Sites. Today, the Society has restored about 7 miles of track for operations. Three vintage diesel locomotives are available for train service. Several steam locomotives have been cosmetically restored for display . The famous Dillingham parlor car has also been restored and is occasionally in service on the train between Ewa and Kahe Point.
The Hawaiian Railway is the only historic railway on the island of Oahu. We offer two scheduled trips each Sunday, departing from Ewa. The train is available for charter on other days of the week.
Hawaii has a rich history of railroading. There were seven public common carrier railroads that operated on four of the islands. At one time, as many as 47 sugar plantations had private railway systems, each with from one to nine locomotives. The Military also had its own rail system. Trains ran on all the islands except Niihau and Kahoolawe.
Railroading in Hawaii was unlike railroading anywhere else in the world. For example, early railroad crossing signs were written in Hawaiian. They read: Akahele I Ke Ka`aahi which means "Lookout for the firecar!"
