The Kahului Railroad Co remains in business, but trucks now haul sugar and molasses. passenger service ended in 1936. About 20 workers retired or were laid off. Nearly 40 miles of track, five diesel locomotives, one steam locomotive in use, one nonworking steamer, and about 260 cars will be offered for sale as the firm cites the high cost of rebuilding deteriorated facilities. The Oahu railway remains Hawaii’s only active narrow gauge line on the Honolulu waterfront.
