3-foot rails in Mahukona. Most of the structures in the area were apparently built or highly modified after the railroad was abandoned.
More Mahukona remnants
Looking across the harbor. The depot is in the background.
The only remaining ties I saw were just north of Mahukona.
These ring rails are near the location of an early turntable. It looks like two complete rings, one smaller than the other, but neither big enough to be near the outside of the turntable. I don't know whether these were part of the turntable or whether they were from the same turntable.
