Visitors to the California State Railroad Museum are in for a sweet treat for the eyes -- a collection of 11 original paintings that capture the heyday of Hawaii's sugar plantation railroads showcased in a new exhibit titled "Sweet Stop: Mike Kotowski's Sugar Cane Trains of Hawaii." Inspired by historic photographs, noted railroad artist Michael F. Kotowski created this series of paintings between 1976 and 1978 for a calendar commemorating the 100th anniversary of the introduction of steam-powered locomotives to sugar cane plantations of the Hawaiian Islands. Sugar cane plantations could not have prospered without the technology of steam-driven locomotives which helped Hawaii evolve from an Island Kingdom to the nation's 50th state. In fact, from the middle of the 19th century until the late 1940s, small railroads -- mostly narrow gauge -- linked the plantations and mills to the ships that transported sugar from the islands to markets in the continental United States. Hence, the sugar industry grew rapidly and became the dominant industry of the Hawaiian Islands. More information about this new "Sweet Stop" exhibit or other events and activities offered by the California State Railroad Museum is available by calling 916-445-6645 or visiting www.californiastaterailroadmuseum.org.
