On Depot Trail near O'Gara Park. The terrain has small trees, and
shrubs. Its shouldn't be too hard to find, you just got to keep
your eyes open. Its accessible to walking, biking, or dog walking.
Also you wont have to move anything. Just think clever. If you do
move anything, please put it back as you found it. There is now a
pen inside so you don't have to bring one. Happy caching!
In 1870 a route was surveyed from the Boston and Albany Railroad at
South Spencer to the center of the village. The issue was brought
to a town meeting in 1872 where the idea was voted "to pass over
the article." Various other surveys were now made covering this and
many other routes. It wasn't brought up again until April 7, 1877,
where the article was passed over once again. After several other
meetings on the same subject, the town finally, on April 3, 1878,
voted to spend approximately $25,000 on building the railroad. In
1878, a 2 1/4 mile railroad was built, connecting Spencer Center
with the Boston-Albany Railroad at Spencer Depot NE with the
station being at South Spencer. After it was decommissioned and
removed, it was tuned into Depot Trail. It now connects Chestnut
Street and S. Spencer Road. This cache is located not too far off
the trail. It should be obvious to find.
ALSO- If anybody has any information on the Depot Trail and/or
the train tracks that once ran through here, please share it. I
can't find alot of information on either of the two. The library in
town had no info on this area at all.
