Geocache Description:

Black Diamond (Owasco Flats) Revisited

Cache is contained in a .30 cal ammo can. It is placed along a forgotten section of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.  


During hunting season please wear blaze orange .

In its day the Lehigh Valley Railroad was known as the route of the Black Diamond. This section of the old rail line was originally part of the Southern Central Railroad that was later purchased by the LVRR company. It its heyday it carried both pasengers and freight  from Sayre, PA to Fair Haven NY. The tracks and stations along this line were abandoned in the 1950's.

The photo below shows a steam engine of a type that frequently travelled through this area in the 1940's.
