According to a friend in Oz, some of the two-foot gauge sugar lines in Queensland state are double track with block signals, and they run diesels equipped with multiple unit capability, not to mention miniature versions of full-size track maintenance machinery. At least one of the sugar mills still has a couple of steam locomotives that are fired up for special occasions, too.
