Zig Zag railway has been operating both Steam and Diesel Rail Motor trains seven days a week for many years now. Unfortunately this intensive running schedule is taking its toll of our Locomotives and Carriages. Zig Zag Railway is currently developing a whole new set of procedures to ensure that we will be able to return to the services we offered before.
Larry Zanker, Chairman Zig Zag Railway.
The Zig Zag Railway appeals to children and adults alike, especially 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, accompanied by the chuffing steam locomotive. It is a chance to appreciate the difficult terrain that confronted the builders and marvel at how they brought the railway down into the Lithgow Valley and on westward.
It is an experience that makes you stop, wonder and marvel - the perfect opportunity to create new memories.
