Hawaii Consolidated Railroads
Carey Bunn, member of the Boulder MRRC, will present a clinic on the Hawaii Consolidated Railroads. This was a standard gauge railway that operated on the eastern coast of the Island of Hawaii with operations centered around Hilo. The line started in 1899 and continued until a tsunami washed out large portions of the line in 1946. The principal customers for the line were sugar plantations. It takes 9 – 10 tons of sugar cane to yield one ton of sugar. This required the railroad to move many tons of raw material to satisfy the manufacturing process.
Carey Bunn Biography
Carey got started in railroading as a youngster, he remembers his grandfather taking him to watch the trains in the yard in Nashville, Tennessee. To this day every time that he smells diesel exhaust fumes he is taken back to those memories. He received his first train set when he was 12 yrs old and his other set of grandparents bought him an “Aurora Postage Stamp” N scale set. He has been running trains ever since, but life, family and kids tended to put the trains on the back burner until he was forced into retirement in 2023. He is now getting back into the hobby and thoroughly enjoying himself. He has a 12’ x 6’ freelance N scale layout that he continues to work on in his Mom’s basement as she enjoys doing the scenic work and has the space. He is currently active in the Boulder Model Railroad Club where he is the Vice-President.
