Exciting experience i had just gotten on the #skyline at airport station 9 am. Shortly, after as it departed the train destination east kapolei, began to move slowly and thereafter lost power.

The train did get hot, other passengers stayed calm for awhile. The sole rail employee Aran, was amazing at trying to help. Opening the train doors for alleviate the heat. He honestly was tremendous even if we were stuck for 2 hours.

In the end another train connected and towed us back to the airport. During this time of connecting the trains together, it got hot 🔥. And two passengers did get angry.

And now it is 12:18 pm, im on the W heading back to ala moana after all this excitement.

What caused this? Power issue apparently from HECO

After all this would I still use the rail? Hell yes. I used it when it ran during the kona low last year.

Could the skyline improve on situation like this? Yes, of course. As far as I know it really was only our train that needed to be towed. Based on my eavesdropping on the radio chatter. Other trains managed to roll back.
