🚆🌸 IEEE Hawaii WIE visit Behind the Scenes at Hitachi Rail Honolulu on April 12! 💪👩‍🔧
Members of IEEE Hawaii Women In Engineering (WIE), IEEE Hawaii Power and Energy Society Chapter, and IEEE Hawaii Section had an unforgettable experience during our behind-the-scenes tour of the Hitachi Rail facility in Honolulu! 🌈🚄

From the high-tech operations control center 🖥️📡 to the massive train maintenance shop 🛠️🚋, every stop on the tour gave us a front-row seat to the incredible engineering and dedication behind Hawai‘i’s Skyline system — one of the most advanced autonomous rail networks in the U.S.! 🇺🇸⚙️
👥 The best part? Meeting the amazing team who powers it all — professionals who go through hundreds of hours of specialized training to ensure safe, smooth, and smart operations every day. Their expertise and passion were truly inspiring! 💪🔥

🙌 This visit was not just educational — it was energizing, especially for our Women in Engineering members. Seeing real-world applications of cutting-edge technology and diverse talent in action reminded us how important inclusion, leadership, and innovation are to the future of sustainable infrastructure. 🌍💫

💐 Huge mahalo to Cara Mazzei for organizing such a thoughtful and engaging tour — and to the entire Hitachi Rail team for sharing your time, stories, and vision with us. We’re excited about what the future holds! 🚀
