A major part of Australia's railway heritage, this engineering masterpiece of the 19th century was built between 1866/69 and acclaimed world wide as a major construction feat of its time. By 1907 railway traffic was so great that the Zig Zag formation could no longer cope, to be replaced by the construction of a ten tunnel deviation through the mountains. The tunnels were completed in 1910, and the Great Zig Zag formation fell into disuse for the next 65 years. In 1975 the Great Lithgow Zig Zag once again reverberated to the sounds of Steam Trains due to the work of the volunteer members of the Zig Zag Railway Co-operative. Come and See the Great Zig Zag Railway & Reserve. Located at Clarence in the Blue Mountains, just 10 minutes from Lithgow. Special Services are available - check the Timetable.
