155th Zig Zag Railway Birthday Gala Event
October 19 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
- ‘Taster rides’ on the world famous Zig Zag Railway
- Zig Zag cafe operating throughout the day
- Carnival rides – separate tickets to be purchased
- Live music and entertainment for the whole family
- Market stalls with gifts, homewares or a snack from one of our local sellers and producers
- Live steam display with a working portable traction steam engine.
You’ll find us just outside Lithgow. While there is lots of parking available on site, we also have a free regular bus shuttle from Lithgow running for the day – so save the hassle and jump on board!
What’s a ‘taster ride’ you ask? – Good question!
To make it possible for as many people to ride with us on the day, we are offering shorter, 45 min trips that give you a taste of the real thing, at a discounted rate. It will be special though! The trip will feature two locomotives – our familiar big green steam engine on one end and a beautifully restored diesel engine on the other.
You will travel from Clarence to Top points station, alight for a short history talk before returning to Clarence to enjoy the day’s festivities.
Get in fast as we expect our birthday celebrations to sell out fast!
