Can anyone give information on any railway were a SUBSTANTIAL start was made
on construction but work stopped and consequently no track was laid?

Are there any others?  Any similar "railways" in other states?

A well known one is the Laura River bridge, west of Cooktown, Qld.
Completed in 1891, rails disconnected about 1930, and destroyed by
a flood in 1940.  Never officially opened, AFAIK, and used by a handful of
trains.
