According the figures on the Rail 2000 site, in 1995/96 Queensland sugar
mills moved an estimated 23.0 million tonnes.  This is the same order of
magnitude as Robe River, and far exceeded that of VLF which tallied a
miserable 6.9m.

In fact, the sugar cane haulage almost exceeed that of National Rail,
Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania combined!  That total was 26.7m
