Zig zags suffer from a number of limitations: The length of trains is limited to what will fit on the shortest stub track in the zig zag. For this reason, the Lithgow Zig Zag's stubs were extended at great expense in 1908. [5] Even then, delays were such that the zig zag had eventually to be bypassed by a new route, opened two years later.
The line originally ascended the eastern and descended the western sides of the Blue Mountains via a series of zig-zag track sections. The eastern zig zag was by passed by a tunnel in 1892 and the western zig zag (currently a tourist railway ) was bypassed in 1910 with the Ten Tunnels Deviation .
