The "big bridge" on the Kahului was at Maliko Gulch on the north side of the Island. It was scrapped out along with the rest of the line in the late '60s, but the abutments are supposedly still there. At 200'+ tall, it was, I believe, the tallest and second longest railroad bridge ever built in Hawaii (the first would have been Malua Gulch bridge on the Hawaii Consolidated's Hamakua division).
