Aftermath of NSW Bush Fires

The bush fire situation has improved across NSW today, though many of the fires are still burning. Unfortunately there are many sad stories of lost homes, vehicles and possessions.

Burnt out Zig Zag Railway.
The Zig Zag tourist railway at Lithgow has unfortunately been affected by the fires.  They have suffered significant loss. The Machine Shop and the Office are burnt out. All the six Carriages stored on 'O" Road, Rail Motor 2016 and all the Accommodation Carriages are destroyed. However, all is not lost. They have enough Rolling stock to recommence services. 

Many homes, sheds, and business have been destroyed by the bush fires. Here are some pictures showing  the devastation of the fires.
