The Lapstone Zig Zag Railway - Part 2

The Lapstone Zig Zag Railway 1867 - 1892 Part 2 - The Ascent to Top Points, Lucasville Station, Gardens & Lapstone Hill Recorded in 4K Video Directed by Graham J Clarke Produced by Jeffrey Coulton After the railway on the Sydney plain reached Penrith in 1862, plans for an extension over the Mountains to the developing grazing, agricultural and mining areas of the west, accelerated. The route was approved and the necessary land acquired by the end of 1864. The ascent of the Lapstone Monocline was the first major problem. Chief Engineer, John Whitton, decided to build a Zig Zag, as he did later, for the descent into Lithgow Valley on the other side of the Mountains.

Whitton built on an idea that came from the developing Indian railway at Bhore Ghat on the Moombai to Poona line. More: https://qvideop.com/blog-5.html#057
