Geocache Description:

The next set of caches along the South County Trail. Trying to continue on with H2"O"s great work on the North County Trail.
A short walk on the paved trail from the North parking location.
Even a chance to learn a little history of the location. Bring your own pen.

The South County Trailway is a 14.1-mile (22.7 km) long trail stretching from Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx to Elmsford in Westchester, NY. Construction started in the 1990s and was completed in 2011.  Most sections of the trailway are paved.  This was once the part of the New York Central Railroad system.

Poison Ivy is very common along this trail, but I did my best to avoid it.

The cache is a camoed bison tube container.  The cache is accessible from the trailway.
Just North of GZ (near the Parking Coords) you will see an informational post providing a history of the Putnam Division Railroad.  At this location the ARDSLEY Station once stood.  Nothing remains of the station as this entire area was reshaped with the construction of the Saw Mill River Parkway.

Parking is available at the posted coordinates.
Construction at the adjacent bridge is currently limiting the parking spaces available, but there are still a few spots accessible.
