List of tramways in Queensland

Downsize43: Fix cat


'''List of tramways in Queensland''' provides two separate lists, each in alphabetical order of the key identifier. They are:
* Non sugar cane tramways, ordered by Tramway Name as contained in Wikipedia articles.
* Sugar cane tramways, ordered by Sugar Mill Name.

This list article does not include the [[Trams in Brisbane|Brisbane tramway network]], the [[G:link|Gold Coast light rail]], or the [[Trams in Rockhampton|Rockhampton steam tram network]].

The information listed is derived from the references and from the wikilinked articles (including those in “See also”)

==Non sugar cane tramways==
Except where shown otherwise these tramways had a gauge of . They were regarded as tramways because of their lighter construction, and because they did not compete with government railways. The Mapleton Tramway, a former sugar cane tramway, is included in this list because it has its own article, and is heritage listed.

Tramway lengths are shown in miles to conform to other Australian railway articles. Where the source shows the distance in kilometres some small difference may occur due to rounding.
