The Great Zig Zag Railway

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.

The Zig Zag is a full size, narrow gauge tourist railway located at Clarence, ten km east of Lithgow in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. Built in the 1860s, the line was constructed to transport people and produce from the western plains of NSW to Sydney. It was replaced in 1910 by a 10 tunnel deviation. The trains, track and rollingstock are maintained and operated by the Zig Zag Railway Co-op Ltd, a voluntary, “not for profit’ co-operative.
