Ahukini Terminal and Railway Company
The Ahukini Terminal and Railway is a former narrow gauge railroad company in Hawaii, United States. It operated a 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge, 19-kilometre (12 mi) long line from the port of Anahola to Lihue on the east coast of the island of Kauai. It did not have a connection to the other railroad on the island, the Kauai Railway, built in the same track gauge.[1] The railroad was opened 1920 and acquired in 1932 by local customers. The last train ran in 1959.[2]
