Geocache Description:

This is the train depot for the GBW series. Travel bugs, coins and other locomotive related items may come to rest here before departing for new locations. Let's try to hold these truths to be self evident.

This cache was placed in memory of Stephenandcarol. No, they didn't come to a horrible end, its much worse then that. They moved! What were they thinking? And we never even had the opportunity to have lunch with them at any of the local establishments. All joking aside, Steve was nice enough to grant me permission to add to his already cool GBW series caches along what is now the Tomorrow River Trail.

April 12, 1866 was the date that the charter was granted to create the Green Bay and Western Railroad. This trail once hosted 2 through freights a day. One headed east and one headed west. The end came when the Green Bay and Western was purchased by the Wisconsin Central in 1993. The rails were lifted shortly after in favor of the WC's better maintained line to the south.

There is a fee if you ride a bike. Otherwise it's free if you walk.

Please make sure to re-hide the cache as good as when you found it (or better). There is a lot of foot and bike traffic on the Tomorrow River Trail during the warmer months so please use some stealth.
