You are looking for a green matchstick container.

This cache is located in the old Chicago Northwestern Switch yard. This yard used to be 4 tracks wide. Many years ago Rhinelander was served by the Soo Line, C&NW, and the Thunder Lake narrow gauge railroads. An accurate model of this can be seen in the basement of Rhinelander’s Railroad Museum. The R/R Museum is part of the Logging Museum Complex at Rhinelander's Pioneer Park.

I left Rhinelander in May of 1984 to serve in the US Army and the switch yard was still here. I came back in 1986 and it was a parking lot and street.

There are many things to see at the Logging Museum complex. The newest attraction is the Red Marquardt's Saw Mill.
