Actually I'll give it to you - they are all the furthest station on each line to
which you can travel from the State capital on a passenger train before reaching
single track.  It works for Lithgow because Wallerawang has no passenger train
service!  In the cases of Kangaroo Flat, Garfield, Tallarook, Burwood and
Toodyay the double track continues up to but not into the next station (Bendigo,
Bunyip, Seymour, Ashburton amd Northam respectively), whereas for Junee,
Lithgow, Geelong and Gawler the double track continues right into the stations
but ends soon thereafter.
