Conductor Wilson worked his way up and would have gone further. His memory represents the finest in railroad tradition. When the crew went fishing, Roy repaired a rail solo and didn't get mad at them. Just led by example.

Wish I was born in that era.

Really interesting video. Came across this by accident looking at a Tsunami video, as one fellow railwayman to another, this is a brilliant aural history of Hawaii's railways

It’s a real shame they took out the railroad along the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island. It would have made a spectacular tourist train ride that would still be making money. The route offers incredible views. Shame it’s gone.

I only knew the trains between Kalihi and Damon Tract in Honolulu. My bedroom was a few yards away from the tracks so I knew the trains intimately.

[@Siggy357]

I love hearing Kupuna talk story especially about Hawai’i Nei long ago…. Listen well. ❤️🫶🏽

[@howellwong11]

As a kid, I used to put a two headed nail on the track and the train would flatten it to form a trinket that would look like a sword. I also would put a penny on the track and it would come out oval shaped.

[@MrTeddywolf]

This is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can this video be purchased anywhere? I absolutely love this!!
