Far from it, I fully agree with you Bruce. There are 23 sugar mills in
Queensland having cane railway systems for transport of sugar cane to the
mill for crushing. There are about 4500 km of cane railways in Queensland.
Some 36 million tonnes of sugar cane is hauled over these cane railways in a
season lasting from July through November.
They are certainly not toys and, in fact, are very sophisticated heavy
haulage railways.
