Let's Look Over Thayer: As Steve Goodman wrote (and Arlo Guthrie sang):
And all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his song again
The passengers will please refrain
This train's got the disappearing railroad blues

The cache container has been picked up and this listing marches into history. Many thanks to all who visited this cache. And thanks for all the kind words.
