Eskbank Rail Heritage Centre

The Eskbank Rail Heritage Centre has long been considered the front door to an amazing and exciting tourist and heritage attraction for the Lithgow area. For many years now community groups have been working hard to develop a number of Lithgow's rail heritage sites including the Lithgow State Mine, Lake Pillans, Blast Furnace Park, Eskbank House and the Eskbank Railway Precinct. All of these sites are connected through rail which in turn is connected to the main western railway line at Eskbank Station. Zig Zag Railway can also be connected to these sites, which when operating together through the rail line form what is locally called the Industrial Heritage Park and the Fire, Furnace and Forge Heritage Trail. Unfortunately Railcorp, despite its commitment to Rail Heritage have failed to maintain the Esbank Station despite the best efforts from both community groups and Council.
