HONOLULU -- Railway service is back on the Hawaiian island of Oahu for the first time since the previous system was discontinued about 75 years ago.
The first segment of the Skyline railway opened for passenger service in Honolulu on Friday. The line is expected to relieve traffic congestion, making it easier for tourists to get about the island, according to Hawaiian authorities.
Hitachi Group, which manufactured the cars for the new line, is in charge of managing and operating the system, such as the signals.
