Geocache Description:


This cache is placed near the McComb Railroad Museums newest piece of equipment. In the interest of safety, the cache is placed in the edge of the old parking lot beside the street. DO NOT cross the rail barrier at the edge of the parking lot. You can reach the cache without crossing the barrier. You are looking for an orange match safe. Please reconceal the cache as well or better than you found it.


ICG 100417 is a wrecking derrick that was formerly assigned to the Jackson, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee areas. These machines used to be the mainstay of rerailing railroad cars after derailments, but have been replaced by specialized bulldozers that can be brought to the scene quicker and have better mobility.

The cache is NOT located at the equipment, but at the side of the street. DO NOT go to the equipment. Work is currently in progress to move the equipment next to the steam engine display. Once the equipment is moved to its new display location this cache will be archived.
