Diesel Five-0

Jory really likes to read informational literature about trains and planes - that is, he loves brochures full of advertisements and schedules. While we were in Kauai, he discovered a pamphlet for the Kilohana Plantation Railway, which I had fortunately discovered before we left the mainland.

One night before he went to bed, I made up a story about a train named Diesel Five-0 who takes a little boy named Jory on a ride to the beach. Jory loved it.

And he wanted to meet Diesel Five-O in person.

So he did.

Twice.




The train takes its passengers on a little loop through an old plantation, which in some senses is still operational today. They grow fruit and raise goats and pigs. Apparently nobody eats the pigs.



Notice Jory's crazy Hawaiian duds. We always hit the local Walmart after de-planing. For some reason, they have great kids clothes.


The plantation also has a great brunch place, which we hit after our last ride on the train!

  2. You mean in that last photo? No, those are just the clothes we always wear on the airplane ... we're not that forward thinking.
