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?
