I guess it required provisioning of the infrastructure, coal and water along the line. And it couldn't be so spontaneous.

    Keep in mind that in New South Wales everything is a 'suburb', even eg Sydney itself. It's weird.

    It's 19km from West Ryde to Central by rail. In the 80's there was still a modicum of infrastructure available for steam locomotives. I've a memory of their still being a water standpipe at Central. These days you would have to arrange with the local fire brigade to fill the tender.
