| "WACO 6", a 25-ton plantation locomotive, was built in the Waialua Agricultural Company shops in 1919, using parts from the plantation and the Baldwin Locomotive Works. It was a typical locomotive used by the Hawaiian sugar industry, with its 0-6-2 wheel arrangement, oil for fuel and a saddle tank for water placed over its boiler. Although it appears small, it was capable of pulling more than 50 loaded sugar cane cars from the fields to the sugar mill at a speed of 10-15 mph. This locomotive was placed on display in Waialua after its retirement in 1952 and was later donated to the Hawaiian Railway Society as its first acquisition. |
