Recorded using 12 string Chapman Grand Stick

3. Sugar Cane Train:
Lahaina has a long history intertwined with the sugar cane industry. In the old days, sugar cane was harvested in the fields and taken for shipment to the docks by train. The sugar cane plantation shut down years ago but the smokestack in the middle of town remains as Lahainas largest and tallest landmark. One of the last steam trains was used as a rolling, chugging, tooting tourist attraction and for many years it chugged right through Lahaina. Every time it went choo choo, you could hear the whistle all over town. The audio engineer for this track, Dave Russell, told me that he was once a guitar strumming, singing 'conductor' on this train 20 years back when the factory was still open and black smoke and soot belched from the smokestack, covering the town with ash. He had some good stories to tell. Hawaiian steel guitar on this track was provided by Don McClellan and the track was recorded in Russells Paia studio. Dave was also the whistle blower on this track. Here are a few photos of the Sugar Cane Train while it was still running from Lahaina to Kaanapali:
