Cane Loco.
Title:  Cane Loco.
Description:  Queensland has the largest cane railway network in Australia, with around 500 km's of narrow 2 foot track. Here we see cane loco no 4 [from Sarina sugar mill] with a radio control brake car. This is to allow better control of the train, as the cane wagons don't have brakes fitted.
