Lahaina, Kaanapali and Pacific Railroad

The Lahaina, Kaanapali and Pacific Railroad also know as The Sugar Cane Train is a tourist railroad that operates on the landscape of the island in Maui, Hawaii.
==History==
This railroad was built during the 19th century the train carries piles of raw Sugar from the fields of the West Maui mountains to the local mills of Lahaina and the refined sugar that was shipped all across the world to many markets growing a booming economy for the sugar trade. The railroad went in operation from 1890 and continued until 1950, they weren't pulling an sugar today because many of the roads, and steam trains lost their jobs in favor of big trucks, and big crawler machines. Because they proved to be more efficient, cheaper to operate, and economical. But in 1969 A.W. "Mac" McKelvey and the Makai Corporation created the railroad in order to illustrate this part of Hawaii's past, and it went back in business as a tourist operation to carry passengers across Maui's tropical Beauty from Lahaina with Puukolii, stopping briefly at Kaanapali.
As of 2024, the railroad is not operational anymore because in 2014, the sugar cane train is permanently closed down because of financial issues and recently to add insult to injury the turntable, the station, and the eastern half of the railroad line were caught on fire in Lahaina during a wildlife and it was shut down ever since.
