Watering the crops at the Dole Pineapple Plantation!

Hey, what’s that over there?

It is yellow and it toots…

YES!  It tis the Pineapple Express, a narrow gauge railroad run on old plantation tracks.  Now it gives a tour of some of the crops that Dole has growing!n It is pulled by a beautiful, scaled model 4-4-0…with a gas engine…

I’d sure like to take a ride on that Express…hey, wait!  I >>AM<< taking a ride on that Express!

Rolling out of the Station, on a three mile (more or less…) tour!

Old pineapple harvesting equipment.

And the Express keeps rolling along!
