Historic Locomotives

At Waioli & Nuhou, our locomotive collection is among the rarest and most complete in Hawai‘i, four original steam engines that once hauled cane across plantations, now lovingly restored and maintained. These engines are not just static displays; with careful preservation, we bring them to life for educational tours and special train rides.

With our Historic Locomotives tour, you’ll touch, see, and hear these steam giants in motion (on appointed “fire-up” days). To preserve this piece of history, rides are limited and must be reserved in advance. Whether you come as a family, a history buff, or a student group, the experience is designed to be both educational and moving.
