Oahu railways honored with EC series

The Oahu Railway & Land Company, the Oahu Sugar Company and the Hawaiian Railway are honored in a new set of elongated coins: Series III in the Historic Railroads of Hawaii Series.

Featured on the ECs are Oahu Railway No. 85, built in 1910; Oahu Sugar Company Puuloa No. 7, built in 1901; and Hawaiian Railway No. 423, donated by the U.S. Navy to the Hawaiian Railway Society in 1975. A fourth EC bears an Oahu Railway & Land Company design.

It is true, United States tokens prove big things do come in small packages!

The set, rolled on copper cents, is available for $8 per set including postage to U.S. addresses. Each set includes a brochure with historical information on each EC featured in this series.

Sets of Historic Railroads of Hawaii Series I and Series II are also still available.
