David, thank you for your usual accuracy, the above is of course the real
reason that it was called a railway. I believe the Silveton situation was the
same in that only the NSW govt. could run a railway. I read somewhere that in
the planning stages the Pilbara railways were referred to as tramways too until
the WA govt passed legislation.
