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?
