Visit to Zig Zag Railway

The last Sunday of January was spent at Zig Zag Railway at Clarence. Clarence is located approx 10km's out of Lithgow. This is something I had wanted to do for a few years now and I knew it would help in reliving childhood memories. I thoroughly enjoyed the day. I have taken a few photos which I will upload to Flickr shortly. The steam train ride took us from Clarence station to Top Points Station, where the loco ran around the carriages and then from Top Points station down to Bottom Points station. Bottom Points Station is where the Zig Zag meets up with the main west line for CityRail services to Sydney and Lithgow. After a short stop over there we headed back to Clarence. Once back at Clarence I got a lesson from the loco driver about the safeworking staff and ticket system used on the Zig Zag Railway. The Zig Zag railway is run and preserved by volunteers. It is a great day out. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

My First Endeavour Ride

Monday I signed on at work at 0600hrs as Exchange car driver. There was something in the back of my mind as I was working throughout the day. What was it? Today was the day I was to take my first ever Endeavour Ride. This is an Endeavour. (Click the photo to visit the Flickr page) I was just like a little kid standing on the platform watching the train pull in. (A sight I see several times a week at work). I was off to Moss Vale. Upon arrival back to Campbelltown it was straight home and straight to bed for a 130am start Tuesday morning.
