Zig Zag station is on CityRail's interurban electric rail network on eht
main western line from Sydney. The only purpose of the station is as a
transfer point to the reconstructed Zig Zag Railway, which was the
original route by which the railway ascended the Blue Mountains. 

The tiny platform can only hold about 6 people, and to catch a train,
passengers must signal the driver. At night, a lamp is used instead of the
disc. Zig Zag station is one of the few places in the world where a green
signal (disc or lamp) is used to stop a train. 

To alight, passengers must tell the guard before the train gets there.
