All 'state railways were not companies until the 1980's - this category needs to be changed as it misrepresents a number of significant issues SatuSuro 09:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Oppose (even though WP:NOTVOTE) because not all defunct railway companies of Australia existed before 1980, so this category name is still appropriate. Your proposed category for defunct government-operated railways could fit as a subcategory of this category. Slambo(Speak) 19:40, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
