It depends on what authority it has to enter a section. If it carries the
Staff or whatever other authority is usually given to trains, then it's a
train and must be signalled as such. If it doesn't, then it's a trolley.
Trolleys can run in otherwise occupied sections, subject to certain safety
rules.
The exception is a "fire patrol track machine" (usually a hyrail) in
Victoria which follows a train into an occupied section, but is also
signalled as a train.
