A steam locomotive No 218A Class C16 hauls a small fleet of ageing carriages, carrying tourists on the historic railway line called the Zig-Zag line, and arrives at the end of the line at the small town of Clarence near Lithgow in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. The cliff-hugging 7km rail return journey takes about 90 minutes from Clarence to Bottom Points at the bottom of a steep valley. It is a terminal junction filled with old locomotives and rolling stock. The famous Indian Pacific train passes through on the Main Western Railway line from Sydney to Perth.
