Geocache Description:

Welcome to White Plains!

This cache is placed near one of the many access points to the City of White Plains.  In this case, you will find yourself around the corner from the North White Plains Train Station.


City of White Plains

The North White Plains train station was built in 1972, and is the little brother of the larger White Plains train station.  It services about a quarter of the number of passengers as its big brother, which makes it more convenient for many locals. The historic "City of White Plains" sign seen in the picture above now sits on private property on this corner, even though the sign was originally across town on Bloomingdale Road near the long gone NYW&B RR station.  The cache is close by, not on private property.

BYOP. This area can sometimes be busy, so please use stealth. May also be a bit tough in the snow. Congrats to BriGuy for the FTF!

Bonus Question: Please do NOT post any spoilers or pictures answering this bonus question!  What is the population of White Plains as shown on this sign?  Noting the answer to this question may come in handy for future adventures...
