The hole in the ground at 13 minutes was of construction of the Knapsack Bridge. It was used for the counterweight when they were lifting the stone blocks, the cranes of the 19th century needed a counter-weight which would go down the hole from the crane

Can you supply any documentation to support that, I have been trying to find out why it was made for years? Thanks

Lucasville station was built for a politician of the time, John Lucas, who had a house at the top of the steps you walked up. The station was rebuilt with signs and a waiting shed for the bicentennial in 1988. The signs and shed were destroyed in a bushfire a few years later. The commonwealth property sign is for the Air Force land.

You had a great view of that cargo train. That was fairly loud as well. The engineer is just winding through the trees and cutting through the mountains.

You should go to the current Zig Zag Railway. (Yes it's closed but maybe to have a look)
