Nice video thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed it. There used to be a sugar mill where I currently live in Maryborough. But there was never any cane train network. It was all hauled in by truck with cane bins set up on the trailer's. The Maryborough sugar mill ceased operation a few year's back. Now All the cane is now hauled to a unloading facility in Childers where the Isis sugar mill leaves empty cane bins.. very interesting set-up.
Thank you for your kind words and comment. Yes, it’s unfortunate to hear about quite a few sugar mills of Queensland closing down in recent years. We also have a sugar mill up here in the far north that only uses trucks, which is the Tablelands Mill operated by MSF Sugar. It’s the newest sugar mill in Queensland I believe and opened somewhere around the 1980s-1990s. There is a 3ft 6in gauge branch line to it where for a while Queensland Rail hauled what I would assume to be raw sugar from the mill to the wharf at Cairns but they haven’t run that since the pre-2010s. The small branch is looked after though and is still maintained as “open”. Thanks again for your comment.
@@thecairnsrailfan wow thanks for lnfomation regarding the sugar mill up there I was from The Tablelands my grandfather had a dairy farm near a place called Milla Milla went to school there in the early 80s . I believe if I'm correct but isn't The Branch Line On the Tablelands a tourist train???
@@scottcannell5584 No problem, that’s awesome to hear! There was once a railway branch line to Millaa Millaa but it closed down in the 1960s. Many other branch lines existed in the Tablelands up until 2013 when the Mareeba - Atherton line closed. Most Tablelands Branch Lines were closed from the 1960s-1980s. In the present day the Tablelands Railway Line is known as the Tablelands System where the mainline runs from Cairns to Forsayth and includes the small branch line that heads away from the mainline to the Tablelands Sugar Mill in Mutchilba. Like I mentioned, the branch line to the mill is still open and maintained but not used by trains anymore. The Cairns to Kuranda trip is under the Kuranda Scenic Railway and the Cairns to Forsayth trip is under The Savannahlander. The Savannahlander does pass the branch line junction to the Tablelands Sugar Mill but never heads down the branch line to the mill, only passes by. The isolated railway line from Normanton to Croydon on the west coast of Queensland is also currently considered a part of the Tablelands System even though they’re not joined up. The Gulflander does tourist trips there. I hope this information is interesting for you. 😄
Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated by us. The small locomotive is very powerful despite its small size, it is good to see that they keep it in a shed there as that will keep it in better condition than if it is stored in the open and it also means that any miscreants who would seek to do harm to the locomotive cannot get access to it. It is great that the sugar company uses the railway as it is by far the most efficient way of moving it and we are absolutely delighted at the way you record this for us. What you do is very impressive.
