Operating Locomotives
Three vintage diesels have been restored to operation for excursion trains, and several steam locomotives have been cosmetically restored. The U.S. Navy in Oahu donated three diesels and the U. S. Army donated one locomotive in the 1970s. Only two of the Navy locomotives are operational.
Operating diesels include:
- #423, An ex-USNX Whitcomb 45-Ton switcher.
- #302, An ex-USNX Whitcomb 45-Ton switcher.
- #7750, An ex-US Army GE 25-Ton switcher.

And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
