While in Canada I was stopped at a level crossing as a grain train consisting of 100 waggons with two locomotives at each end and two in the middle moved off from a siding. That is not a time to be in a hurry, 0 to 60 time is in minutes, if not hours !

Could that be because Australia is big and flat?

(Yes yes, I know about the various mountains, most which don't have railways.)
