Thanks for your comment, Matt. You're right: I should have mentioned the Scenic Railway at least once in my story. (It's important that anybody hiking west of Enright keep an eye out for it, even though that's not the section of the route I describe here.) However, the railway and trail are not mutually exclusive: The concept plan outlines a "rails with trails" option that's highly likely west of Enright. That version is expensive, but seems to have stakeholder support.
