[@thecairnsrailfan]

UPDATE: This and the other 3 parts of South Johnstone Sugarcane Trains seen in this video have been put into a much better, remade, narrated, single video which is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJm4k6GfrLCdm9k

I should get a job on these cane locomotives as a offsider during this year's cane crushing season 2023 and work at mulgrave sugar mill in gordonvale

I'd be interested in seeing how the wagons are loaded with the sugar cane, do you have a video showing the loading? Anthony

Hi Anthony! Yes I do; I’ve got direct footage of the tractor haulouts loading sugarcane into the cane bins in this video for Mulgrave Mill’s network seen loading in northern Cairns at 15:28 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHjHp6KIicmXp6ssi=Axyxh41-76rSl9d_ An interesting type of haulout loading sugarcane into Mossman Mill’s unique “canetainers” here at 32:40 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqDOZJaPdseWgrssi=otWrHLUbcU9elRiv And for South Johnstone Mill itself I don’t remember any direct clips I’ve captured of haulouts loading sugarcane bins themself but I do have footage of the sugarcane harvesters themselves loading the haulouts seen in this video at 30:12 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYGrd3Wgf5V4jrMsi=xetB9p0YXgJllwpd I hope this helps!
