Zig Zag railway station
Railway station in New South Wales, Australia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the heritage railway located next to this NSW TrainLink station, see Zig Zag Railway.
Zig Zag railway station is located on the New South Wales Main Western Line. It was originally built in April 1878 and closed in 1910 due to the opening of the Ten Tunnels Deviation which bypassed the original site of the station. The station was not rebuilt until 1959 when a new station was built alongside the 1910 alignment in a similar location to the 1878 station.[3]
