Lapstone Zig Zag
The Lapstone Zig Zag〔''The Ascents of Lapstone Hill'' Singleton, C.C. Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, September, 1956 pp117-131〕 was a zig zag railway built near Lapstone on the Great Western Railway of New South Wales in Australia between 1863 and 1865, to overcome an otherwise insurmountable climb up the eastern side of the Blue Mountains.〔John Low (1991) ''Pictorial Memories Blue Mountains'' Kingsclear Books〕 The ruling grade was already very steep at 1 in 33 (3%). The original plan had been to build the whole line across the Blue Mountains on a completely different route through the Grose Valley with a 3 km long tunnel, but this was beyond the resources of the colony of New South Wales at the time.〔 The track included a now abandoned station called ''Lucasville'' which was built for the Minister for Mines, John Lucas who had a holiday home nearby.
