迪林汉一开始把当地一间五金公司买了下来,并且提供发展糖业所需要的各项器具。他认为如果能有比较方便的方法能把货物从岛上运到港口以便出口,那么糖业就一定会有所成长。于是他在18891116日开设了欧胡铁道与土地公司 (Oahu Railway and Land CompanyOR&L) ,这也是夏威夷国王卡拉卡哇 (Kalakaua) 的生日。


Dillingham first bought a local hardware company and supplied goods for the growing sugar industry. He figured that if there was an easier way to transport products from the inland to the harbor for export, the sugar industry would grow. He opened the Oahu Railway and Land Company (OR&L) on November 16, 1889, the birthday of Hawaiian King Kalakaua.
