Zig Zag Railway Blue Mountains NSW Sept 2011

In Sept 2011 a visit was made to Zig Zag Railway near Lithgow in the NSW Blue Mountains.The first rail crossing of the mountains before newer tunnels were bored to make an easier route.
Originally built as Standard Gauge it was restored to operating condition using 3ft 6in narrow gauge track, sourcing equipment from Queensland, Tasmania and South Australia

I much prefer the AC16 in this livery rather than the green it is now painted.
