Oahu's Narrow-Gauge Army Rail - by Jeff Livingston (Paperback)

The "Oahu Railway & Land Company" provides a unique and exciting opportunity for those interested in military history, railroads, or simply exploring the beautiful island of Oahu.

With a rich history dating back to 1905, this company has been instrumental in providing rail service to the US Army, including Fort Shafter and Schofield Barracks.

The "temporary" railroad built in 1907 not only remained but was expanded to become a permanent one in 1920 with the establishment of the 41st Coast Artillery (Railway). In addition to its military significance, the Oahu Railway & Land Company also built government tracks at Schofield Barracks between 1922 and 1933, including an independent 60-centimeter "trench" railroad system.

For those interested in more specialized railroads, Forts Weaver and Barrette have highly specialized railroads to serve the 16-inch gun batteries. Don't miss out on this opportunity to explore Oahu's rich history through its railroads.

Whether you are a history buff, a train enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique experience, the "Oahu Railway & Land Company" is sure to provide an unforgettable adventure.
