The Fish is the legacy name for the passenger train that operates over the Blue Mountains between Lithgow and Sydney, Australia.
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]
