Sadly the mill has been sold since then and the track lifted.

Do they burn wood all the time or just for the early part of the milling campaign? I wondered if they switched to burning the sugar cane waste.

I don't know if they refer to it as bagasse on Java.

Le passage sur le rail tordu, en sortie de dépôt, est incroyable !

Et que dire de ce patinage désespéré de la locomotive ?

Génial !

Fantastic ! It reminds me the Cuban sugar cane trains. Same tiny track, ancient atmosphere.
