The "west" curve between the Bankstown and Metropolitan
Goods (Enfield-Flemington) lines in Sydney. The embankment was built, though I
think now it's largely disappeared. I have even seen it shown as a completed
railway in some street directories.
(To forestall the attacks - I take "SUBSTANTIAL" in
your original posting to mean that a substantial portion of the work necessary
to construct a working railway was completed. I would argue that building
the embankment represents a pretty substantial proprtion of the
construction, even though, in this case, it would not have been a
substantial part of the railway network in terms of distance.)
