A few weeks ago, when the wife and I were walking at
Blaisdell Park in Pearl City, we chanced upon a little plaque installed in the
concrete walkway along the edge of the Pearl Harbor waters:
“See Oahu by Rail” (right side of the sign) is one of the Hawaiian
Railway Society’s catch phrases, so I’m assuming they had a part in installing
the plaque.
Also, since it’s a City & County of Honolulu park, I’m
also assuming that the “Honolulu Depot” the plaque is referring to is Oahu
Railway & Land train terminal building near Chinatown, Downtown Honolulu.
And, since it’s a little more than 9.5 miles from Blaisdell
Park to downtown Honolulu, I’m sure my assumptions are correct.
I know, I know … so many assumptions. But it’s all the fault
of that cement plaque. It made me curious.
