Abstract
"Queensland has approximately 4000 route kilometres of sugar cane railways across various networks. All of these networks are 610 mm (2 feet) gauge, with the exception of the lines servicing Pioneer Mill at Brandon, which use 1067 mm (3 feet, 6 inch) gauge, and a dual gauge line connecting Kalamia Mill at Ayr and Invicta Mill at Giru. The railways are all owned, operated and maintained by the sugar milling companies. (https://www.railtram.com.au/sugar-cane-railways) Ayr is a rural town and locality in the Shire of Burdekin, Queensland, Australia.[2][3] It is the centre of a sugarcane-growing region. (Wikipedia)"
