  I have been to eureka springs several times over last 20 years. But i was never lucky enough to see a steam engine operating. They had one sitting on display but it was in poor condition. Not sure if this is the same one in this video. Makes me wonder how old is this video? Now days they pull the cars with a small deisel electric switcher. Rhanks for the video.

  The Sugar Cane Train. It’s another cool heritage railroad. My Uncle Mark and Auntie Kelly were at this narrow gauge railroad back in 2012, two years prior of it being closed down in August 2014. The railroad was abandoned until 2016 when they had started to reopen the railroad. I did got to see their Santa Express event back in 2018. Today they are currently working on restoring the railroad back in service again soon.

  With Lahaina badly burned and most of the historic town mostly destroyed, the train is one of the very last historic treasures still standing thanks to the fact that the engines Anaka and Myrtle live in Kaanapali and were out of the fire's path as was the Trestle. With that being said, the locals will most likely want to keep the train, and will probably fight to hold onto one of the last historic treasures that was spared from the horrible fire.

  They should put a steam engine back in service

• 
  @trainclaude Жыл бұрын

  Agreed. Steam loco No. 4 last ran in scheduled revenue service in 1959. It was used as a steam source for melting ice in 1964. It was put back into service for excursions in the mid-1980s which is when I shot this video. It is out of service now because the complete $100 million rebuild of the railroad in 2017-2019 included a change in the the type of rack rail along the entire line. The steam loco cog gear would have to change to match the new rack rail as well as its mounting (probably). The railroad has talked about doing this but it is very low priority. Last I heard, the loco is on display at Williams, Arizona, the southern end of the Grand Canyon Railroad. The matching steam coach was in Pueblo, Colorado. The other problem would be schedule. The newly rebuilt railroad will carry twice as many passengers as the old railroad so track time will be tighter. When I rode steam excursions in the 1980s and 1990s, they were always on an Autumn weekday when track time was plentiful. I remember one trip when we just stopped on the mainline, got out and had a picnic in a meadow next to the railroad! I doubt that will ever happen again.

The caliber of many people who were here in 1891 is fascinating. Most of whom were not wealthy vacationing Easterners and European but the people who had the mettle to survive beyond the Mississippi in the worst conditions imaginable.

  @@exempligratia101 if I remember correctly, there is a railroad museum elsewhere in the Hawaiian islands that has train trips using narrow gauge diesels although they don’t have any operating steam locomotives at the moment. They have steam engines on display and I suppose it’s possible that the old sugarcane train locomotives, and rollingstock might go there. Honestly, I hope that they remain in the Hawaiian islands as long as they can get restored back to service because while I have never been to Hawaii, I do think that it is quite a shame that those pieces of history aren’t able to contribute to the preservation of their State history. If I had to choose what would happen to them, I would have that they would be restored elsewhere in Hawaii, or at the very least I hope that they end up in safe hands.
