Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia
An Iconic Example of 19th Century Engineering
Currently Closed - Reopening 2021.
Having suffered through two disastrous bush fires, the Zig Zag Railway is working towards reopening in late 2021.
A journey on the Zig Zag Railway through the remarkable Blue Mountains' scenery, offers views of grand sandstone viaducts, accompanied by the chuffing steam locomotive. It is a chance to relive the era of steam trains and appreciate the difficult terrain that confronted engineers back in the early 1900s.
A ride over the Great Lithgow Zig Zag is a magical step back in time, filled with sights, sounds and smells of a bygone era.
