What was 20 years ago a ride through captivating fields of sugarcane has become a back door view of golf courses and local shops. It is still a remarkable trip down memory lane. Local resorts are trying to shut down the last operating steam train in Hawaii. So much history lives within the memory of the Conductor "Uncle" Terry and his crew. Hoping to help keep traditions of Old Town Lahaina alive!! Aloooooha!!

In the Sweet History on Rails photo essay.

    Interestingly enough she actually was holding her hand up to the air passing through an open window. The blur adds to the impression that she is touching glass. Thanks for the props!

    Beautiful image. Your daughter(?) appears to be trying to touch something long gone but not forgotten.
