That lasted several years before becoming Melbourne & Hobson's Bay United
Railway Company after absorbing some smaller companies.

NSWPTC?

We're getting off the track and onto companies which were either absorbed
into government ownership or went bust rather than simply changing names.

But you can add:

Melbourne, Mt Alexander, Sandhurst and Echuca Railway.
Melbourne & Essendon Railway
Melbourne Suburban Railway
Geelong & Melbourne Railway
City & Port Railway (Adelaide)
