CaneSIG
The Cane Railway (Tramline) Modelling Special Interest Group
Philippines
While the Philippines has been a major sugar producer CaneSIG has had
limited resources on the sugar cane railways serving the Filipino
industry. However, railfan and modeller Jon Knudsen, who travelled
there in October 2005 and has posted more than 300 images on his
web site, has provided a selection for
CaneSIG.

The traditional use of bigasse (cane crushing residue) for fueling
the steam locomotives can be seen from the high sides and roof on
the abandoned steam locomotive tender (above). There appear to be two
types of wholestick cane wagon -- both are essentially flat wagons
with high bulkheads, but one type also has a horizontal tie-bar at
the top of one side.
