EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the engineering marvel of the late 19th century in this photograph of the zigzag railway tracks in Sydney, Australia. Dating back to the 1890s, this image showcases the intricate zigzag railway that ascended the side of a mountain, most likely the Great or Lithgow Zig Zag, which operated between 1869 and 1910 in New South Wales. The zigzag railway was an engineering innovation that allowed trains to climb steep inclines without the need for excessive force, making transportation between the mountainous regions and the coastal city of Sydney more accessible. Sydney, the most populous city in Australia and the state capital of New South Wales, is situated on the south-east coast of the Tasman Sea. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Australia's transportation system and the ingenuity of its early engineers. The Boswell Collection, Slide number 38, preserves this historical moment in time, providing us with a fascinating look into the past.
