It depends on how the railroad wants to make itself sound.To me a railway is commonly smaller, but there are some fairly large railways. It also doesn't depend on where you are. Here in Maryland, we have the "CSX Railroad" (Class 1 freight line) "Western Maryland Scenic Railroad", and the "Walkersville Southern Railroad" (Small Excursion/historic lines), but we also have the "Maryland Midland Railway", which is a freight line that runs almost all the way between Hagerstown and Elicott City, and from around Guettysburg PA (Northern MD) to Walkersville MD (Mid Maryland). They are bigger than the WSRR and WMSRR, but smaller than CSX, yet have the different extension.
