Description

The Kahului Railroad (KHRR) was formerly a common carrier railway company in Hawaii. It operated on 3 ft narrow gauge track 15 miles in length from Wailuku to Kuiaha on the north coast of the island of Maui. The line was extended again on 8 February 1913. The railway crossed the Maliko Gulch via a steel bridge to reach Ha'ikū and Kuiaha. The bridge was with a height of 230 ft (70 m) above the valley floor the highest railway bridge in Hawaii, and had a length of 682 ft (208 m). The railway was from 1959, the last public railway in the state of Hawai'i and after a total of almost 87 years, the organization with the longest operating time. In 1962, Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar was acquired by Alexander & Baldwin.[3] The railroad was decommissioned on 22 May 1966, and subsequently degraded. The company continues today as Kahului Trucking & Storage. It continues to be a subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin. Wikipedia Reference nos.
