"All aboard" The beautiful steam powered engine whistles to life as she moves off from Clarence station for the ride down the escarpment.
The Great Zig Zag Railway, the original rail line into the Lithgow Valley, was opened in 1869. The line was hailed as an engineering masterpiece of the 19th century. Today, the historic tourist railway, traverses the 7 1/2km track, operating steam trains and vintage diesel locomotives.
The Zig Zag is a series of gently sloping ramps in the form of a letter 'Z' passing through 2 tunnels and over 3 magnificent sandstone viaducts, all surrounded by the beautiful Blue Mountains escarpment.
