Crushing time is on again!
It’s time to use your train brain and look out for cane trains again.
The Burdekin’s 2025 production season is set to start on Tuesday, 3 June.
Wilmar Sugar and Renewables’ four Burdekin mills are on track to commence operations that day. Cane trains are already on the move ahead of the season’s start. People of all ages are reminded to use their train brains to ensure they stay safe around Wilmar’s cane rail network.
Cane trains operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week throughout the crushing season. Although they do not travel at high speeds, cane trains are big and heavy. That means they take a long time to stop.
Always use your train brain and:
• Be alert
• Obey signs and signals at cane railway crossings
• Keep off cane bins and cane railway tracks - especially bridges
• Always give way to cane trains
