I drew in railway line from landsat (hopefully that was marked as source) and 
lined it up with crossings and bridges.
If you have better data, please move the railway.

I haven't managed to get a trace on any railway because I seem to be limited

If anyone knows someone who drives trains out of from Junee we could get them 
to use a GPS a few times.
