This past Sunday, we took a ride on the Hawaiian Railway train between Ewa and Kahe Point. The Hawaiian Railway Society has preserved and maintained some of the old trains that used to carry sugar cane and pineapples from the plantations to Honolulu, as well as passengers and cargo. Here are just a few shots from our Sunday ride with a group of photographer friends. We were blown away by the Toy Train Museum. Highly recommended.
If you're ever on Oahu and looking for something different, check them out.

The diesel locomotive that pulled our train ride. We stopped here for a quick visit to the ice cream shop across from the Disney Aulani Resort. What a treat!

A good view of our train car, a flatbed with structures for passengers. We had more picturesque scenes elsewhere.

A rare sight in Hawaii, a railroad crossing. We waved and gave shaka signs to the drivers patiently waiting for the train to pass.

I believe this is all the collections of the man who started the museum.
