Over the past six years, Pearlridge has presented the society with a total of $270,295.20.
The new funds will allow the organization to repair and maintain Locomotive No. 302, one of two locomotives that pull the train for the Hawai'i Railway Society's popular rides. The society also plans to purchase a welder for maintenance and repair of its passenger cars.
Any remaining money will be added to the fund to restore Locomotive WACO No. 6, the only locomotive ever built in Hawai'i. The society believes that operating the steam locomotive would bring even greater authenticity to train rides at its 'Ewa train yard.
