Geocache Description:

This cache is a micro and is not on or even near the tracks. It is in the parking lot. Permission has been granted to hide the cache there and park for brief intervals while you search. I thought you would find the info on the train interesting, so I put the cache in the area.

The Bay Colony trash train is Cape Cod's freight railroad. Their main revenue is hauling all of the Cape's trash to SEMASS, a waste-to-energy plant in Rochester, Mass. Once delivered to SEMASS the trash will sit for a few days until it is dry enough to burn. From the piles, the trash is shredded, and then if necessary allowed to dry more before going to the incinerator itself. The incinerator then burns the trash and boils water, producing steam that will turn turbines, and create electricity. The tracks are active and used usually twice a day. The train arrives around 9:00/9:30am and departs for Rochester, Mass around 4:00pm. It travels very slowly, so slowly that a rail man walks ahead of the train at crossings.More info is available at the following url: http://capecodrails.railfan.net/bclr/bclr.html
