		In 1991, FIDO commissioned a light rail study, undertaken by Gutteridge Haskins and Davey Pty Ltd, to identify costs associated with the provision and operation of a light rail system from Woongoolba Creek to Central Station and the McKenzie Line east to the Wabby Plots.
		Another potential use of the rail network is to carry freight from the western to the eastern side of the island, thus minimising cross island freight traffic.
		As such, an alternative transportation option is required that achieve the objective of distributing passengers without impacting on the environmental values and management economics of the Island.

	Sugar Cane Transport
		Efficient transport of chopped cane is essential to avoid losses of sugar content after harvesting and to maintain a uniform flow of cane through the mills.
		Although cane tramways were initially constructed by estates, it was the central mill which was to use the technology to the greatest extent, and thereby achieve the efficiency of cane transport to achieve the economies of scale possible from larger mill capacity.
		Small petrol-engined rail tractors were employed for light duties from the early 1920s and, after 1925, petrol-powered locomotives by Fowler and Hudswell Clarke appeared on mainline operations.

	3rd and 4th rail dimensions and settings
		As conductor rail wear takes place, the insulators are re-packed underneath, or packing is inserted between the underside of the rail and the cradle of the insulator, to maintain the conductor rail relationship with the running rails.
		The conductor rail is probably 106lb/yard section: the slight height difference between it and the cast ribbed ramps can be seen, being accommodated by the use of different types of insulator and packing thickness under the conductor rail itself.
		The out of gauge rails are anchored longitudinally to their insulators by small, thin, steel flats welded to the underside of the out of gauge rail, these flats being located just outside the insulator cradle.

	Petroleum Topics: Alternative Transport Fuels
		At present, about 80% of the world's demand for transportation fuels -- road, rail, air and sea -- are met by derivatives from the fossil fuel, petroleum.
		In reality, CNG is the fuel which is likely to penetrate into the transport fuel market in the near future, as city bus fleets are progressively replaced by CNG powered versions in order to reduce particulate emissions.
		Nevertheless, the lower cost of petrol and diesel and availability of new technologies to improve the emission performance of engines using these fuels, will ensure that for some time to come, petrol will continue to be the preferred and most widely used motoring fuel in the world closely followed by diesel.
