Geocache Description:

A rehide of the original cache....A Tall Drink of Water.
There is a nice place to pull off the highway. Watch for cars and trucks. For your safety...DO NOT, under any circumstances, cross or walk along the railroad tracks.

The redwood water tank was built to furnish water for the Fremont, Elkhorn, and Missouri Valley Railroad Steam Engines. This line later became the Chicago Northwestern Railroad, came to Lusk on July 13, 1886. The original site was several hundred feet to the west of the present location. Water was furnished from a well by a windmill. Later it came from a hand-dug well by hand and steam power. This tank is one of only six left standing in the U.S. The historical society has been working hard to preserve the tank since 1971 and had assisitance from Chicago Northwestern Railroad, the Town of Lusk and numerous other contributors. Further proving how important these redwood water tanks are to the history of the towns, counties and westward expansion of our country.
