Railroad is open and clear to/from Beaches to Makuu. This is the first test of what will be hundreds, if not thousands of cars. Wasn't too bad, only can do about 25, very dusty, most of the grade is flat and hard but easy to see where potholes are going to start. The views along that road are incredible, magnificent views of Mauna Kea. Thank goodness there is an emergency road there now.
