A 30-inch gauge 0-6-2T saddle-tank steam locomotive has been restored in Hawaii. Hawaiian Sugar Company 3, named Kaipu, was built by Baldwin in 1925 and worked on the west side of Kauai. It was later sold to the Grove Farm Company, where it got its current name and number. The locomotive operated until 1957, when it was retired and stored.
In the 1980s, the locomotive was restored to operation, and it ran intermittently into the 2010s. In 2023, the Grove Farm Homestead Museum decided to put the locomotive back in service with the help of FMW Solutions. The locomotive was completed in the spring and was back under steam in July. The locomotive leads short excursions throughout the year. Visit www.grovefarm.org for more information.
