迪林漢一開始把當地一間五金公司買了下來,並且提供發展糖業所需要的各項器具。他認為如果能有比較方便的方法能把貨物從島上運到港口以便出口,那麼糖業就一定會有所成長。於是他在18891116日開設了歐胡鐵道與土地公司 (Oahu Railway and Land CompanyOR&L) ,這也是夏威夷國王卡拉卡哇 (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.
