ZIG ZAG RAILWAY

One of the viaducts on the Zig zag rail line built in the 1860's and acclaimed world wide as a engineering mater piece of  the 19th century. The zig zag was a vital link in the western line which carried people, produce to and from the western plains of new south wales. The zig zag is a series of gently sloping ramps in the form of a Z passing through two tunnels and over the magnificent sandstone viaducts it was replaced as the main line in 1910 lay dormant for 65 years and reopen in 1975 by volunteers
