John, they do have a train on Kauai, and they have a couple original Hawaii steam engines but they seldom run those. DonUnknown-1

On our last visit to Kauai in 2018, we rode the Kauai Plantation Railway; afterward, my mother-in-law mentioned another train at Grove Farm, so I did a little research and called them; they were closed, but the woman I spoke with took my name and phone number, and that same day, Scott Johnson, their steam engineer, called me. He explained that they were closed, but he very graciously invited me for a private tour of the steam locos, engine house, and railroad. I spent the better part of a day with him, learning about the history of the locos and railroading in general on Kauai. It was fascinating, especially for me, since I volunteer at our Maine Narrow Gauge RR in Portland. Here's my wife and me in the cab of Wainiha!!
