Zig Zag Railway, Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia


19th Century Engineering Masterpiece & Renowned Tourist Railway


Trains run daily (except Christmas Day) at 11am, 1pm, 3pm from Clarence Station. Additional trains run on Sundays and some
public holidays. Check the timetable for further details.

The Zig Zag Railway appeals to children and adults alike, especially to those who once rode behind steam locomotives on the way to school or on holidays. It is a magical step back in time, filled with sights, sounds and smells of a bygone era. Every trip from Clarence Station winds its way through the remarkable Blue Mountains’ scenery, offering glimpses of grand sandstone viaducts and accompanied by the steady chuffing of the steam locomotive. It is a chance to consider the difficult terrain confronting our railway engineers and marvel at the way they brought the railway down into the Lithgow Valley and to the west.

It is an experience that makes you stop, wonder and marvel – the perfect opportunity to create new memories.
So call to book your ticket for a special event, or surprise someone with a gift voucher today.

Enjoy a magic show and some pretty gruesome school food before your ride back to Clarence in the dark. Don’t be a muggle, dress as your favourite character and practise your spells before you come.
