Thank you very much for this excellent video presentation which is extremely well narrated. You had a good combination of passenger and freight. The train that passed which is based on the British Rail class 43 was interesting as where I live we have these still running in daily service, the last train operating company to do so, though there have been some sold for use in Mexico and others have gone to Nigeria for use as suburban trains! We hope that you did not get too wet but at least it kept it cooler and keeps the vegetation nice and green. Take care and we are most grateful to you for providing us with this excellent video.

No problem, thanks for your comment! QLD sugarcane railways are very impressive and extensive! I find them to be very underrated, many people don’t realise how large these systems and operations are and I’ve wanted to make a video all about the sugarcane mill industry and operations in QLD as a whole but haven’t been able to get around to it properly. There is just over 15 operational rail operation mills in QLD I think; combined they have around 2,000-4,000km worth of track I think! Very large networks indeed. The largest locomotive fleet I am aware of is South Johnstones. They’re owned by the same company that operates Mulgrave Mill (MSF Sugar) and Mulgrave is connected with the South Johnstone network. The mill itself being located just south of Innisfail. I believe SJ has over 20 locomotives in service if I remember correctly!

Thank you very much for this fascinating video presentation which is very interesting and informative and very much appreciated. Your videos are always worth waiting for as they are always of the very highest quality, with most excellent quality of narration, too. We are delighted that they will be able to bring the sugar cane to the mill through this alternative way and at least they will be using the remaining part of the railway. We are looking forward, with great interest, to these other aspects of the railway scene, that you have planned for us. We are absolutely delighted to receive this video at this time and are grateful for the immense amount of work that you put into these productions. You certainly deserve these subscriptions and we look forward to seeing them continue to rise as we pass through this current season. Take care.

Seems to me that the cane railway bridge over the Barron River is a vital part of the Mill's infrastructure, so it seems logical that it will be rebuilt sooner, rather than later, and knowing that the old bridge couldn't withstand the force of the river in that cyclone, then building it stronger and a meter or so higher would be the way to go.
@thecairnsrailfan
@thecairnsrailfan Ай бұрын
Good points; funnily enough the bridge that collapsed was a “flood resistant” design which unfortunately I think I may have forgot to mention in the video but anyways this means they’ll have to rebuild an even more flood resistant design with potential features that you brought up!

Cut it down a whole lot… not even a sleeper coach on it any more despite it being a source of great controversy since the Westlander is an overnight trip and the fact that it doesn’t have a sleeper coach on a trip like that for sure hurts passenger numbers and popularity! Unfortunately… the Inlander is the same; which QR doesn’t haul themself anymore. They get Aurizon to do it I am pretty sure since QR doesn’t have crews out that way to take over on the trip by train from Townsville to Mount Isa. Hopefully one day; a sleeper coach or a good revamp is done on these services so the services remain in the long term!
