Queensland railways. When built, this railway was statndard gauge. As
rebuilt for enthusiasts and tourists, it is 1067mm gauge, since it uses

How to board a train at the Zig-Zag station on Sydney's City Rail network.
This station is purely a transfer station to the Zig-Zag Railway. The short
platform is only about 6 people long, and there instructions on how the
passengers should signal the driver of the train. The approach is around
a bend in the mountains. The driver canot see far ahead yet must stop on
request so that the coach door is at the short platform: a tricky piece
of driving.
