As my family and I don’t live on the Leeward side, I find it difficult to get excited about Skyline, the train. Although my taxes help pay for it, since it doesn’t circle the island, it does us no good at all.
The irony is that when the Kahuku Sugar operated, a train did go from the Windward side to the Leeward side. Those rails were removed years ago. Frankly, I resent being forced to pay for something we’ll never use. I’d feel differently if Skyline circled Oahu.
