The Fish is the legacy name for the passenger train that operates over the Blue Mountains between Lithgow and Sydney, Australia.
History
[edit | edit source]In the 19th century, a train from Sydney to Penrith was driven by John Herron, accompanied by fireman John Salmon and guard John Pike. These names lent themselves to the train's resulting name.[1]
It is complemented by another service, The Chips and used to also run with The Summit and The Heron.[2]
According to the current timetable,[3] The Fish leaves Lithgow at 5:08 am, reaches Mt Victoria at 5:37 am and arrives Sydney at 7:47 am. The Chips leaves Lithgow at 5:38 am, reaches Mt Victoria at 6:07 am and arrives Sydney at 8:17 am.
