Annual Birthday Celebration
Join us to Zig Zag Railway’s 155th Birthday!
On the day you can enjoy:
- ‘taster rides’ on the famous Zig Zag Railway
- Zig Zag cafe operating throughout the day
- carnival rides (pre-purchase for a discount)
- live music and entertainment for the whole family
- market stalls with gifts, homewares or a snack from one of our local sellers and producers
- live steam display with a working portable traction steam engine.
You’ll find us just outside Lithgow. While there is parking available on site, we also have a free regular bus shuttle from Lithgow running for the day – so save the hassle and jump on board!
What’s a ‘taster ride’ you ask?
Good question!
To make it possible for as many people to ride with us on the day, we are offering shorter, 45 min trips that give you a taste of the real thing, at a discounted rate.
It will be special though! The trip will feature two locomotives – our familiar steam engine on one end and a beautifully restored diesel engine on the other.
You will travel from Clarence to Top points station, alight for a short history talk before returning to Clarence to enjoy the day’s festivities.
Tickets for taster rides can be booked online – get in fast as we expect our birthday celebrations to sell out!
Free shuttle buses
