Hawaii / Tourist Railroads / Kauai Plantation Railway

History

The Kauai Plantation Railway follows a 3-mile (4.8 km) loop through agricultural displays on the historic Kilohana estate and plantation. The Kauai Plantation Railway was designed by Boone Morrison, a historic restoration architect. Its rolling stock is new, but carefully modeled after passenger cars of 1880s trains that operated on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Kauai Plantation Railway depot at Kilohana Plantation. The structure was the former guest house, built in 1935.

The railway has both enclosed coaches and a coach with open sides. The coaches sit on six 35-foot (11 m) flatcars originally built in 1941 at Pearl Harbor by the U.S. Navy, which were then used by the Oahu Railway & Land Company and afterwards sold to White Pass and Yukon Route in Alaska.
