Just thinking about this Webb Dock stuffup , and whether there are any other 
examples of this sort of thing ,
ie a Railway line having to be rebuilt to the same destination after having 
been pulled up .
The only one I can think of is Lalor to Epping after the Whittilsea line 
closed,even then Im not sure whether the rails were pulled up.
Any more ?
