(AP) — The interim executive director of Honolulu’s rail authority has said that the project could be in for another delay. Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation Interim CEO Lori Kahikina says some train wheels do not properly fit track crossings in some sections of the project. Kahikina says she believes the organization knew about the issue late last year, but that she was only made aware of it several weeks ago. Kahikina started her role on Jan. 1. Kahikina estimates the problems could potentially delay the rail project’s interim service for a year.
