Uncompleted Railways



Can anyone give information on any railway were a SUBSTANTIAL start was made on construction but work stopped and consequently no track was laid?  In New South Wales I can think of the following railways:
 
Casino -  Tabulam: 
Formation substantially completed but no track laid.  The remains are readily observable from many locations along the Bruxner Highway.
 
Guyra - Dorrigo:
Formation visible for a few kilometres to the north east of Guyra.  How far did the earthworks go before construction stopped?
 
Gulgong - Maryvale:
Formation constructed, a tunnel bored and some bridges started.
 
Maldon - Dumbarton:
Formation substantially completed from proposed Avon Tunnel to Southern freeway.  Some bridgework started on Nepean river bridge.
 
Bradfield's Eastern Suburbs railway:
Tunnels constructed from SE corner of Hyde Park through St. James to near Macquarie Place.
 
Are there any others?  Any similar "railways" in other states?
