The US Sugarcane RR is busiest from October to April during sugarcane harvest season. Empty "cane cars" are moved from the processing plant in Clewiston, Florida to the various trackside loadouts in sugarcane fields outside of town to be loaded, then brought back into town to the processing plant.

Monday, March 15th

Not at all. Very accessible and friendly. But is mostly a seasonal RR.
