While I worked in India for more than a year, I never managed to get many photos of the Indian railways, and none of the cane growing areas that I visited had any obvious cane railways. These two photos, however, provide a glimpse of Indian sugar cane operations. The second evokes all kinds of memories for me.

Above: Saraya Sugar Factory's #54, a narrow gauge Kitson-built 0-6-0 with a loaded train of cane in 1993. Below: Purtabpore Sugar Factory's #2, returning to the sugar factory with a special excursion train in 1984. Both photos from Marshall, Lawrence G (2001). Indian Narrow Gauge Remembered, East Harling, Norfolk, UK: Plateway Press. Very highly recommended.
