Geocache Description:

Lots of Parking, Community Property.

In 1922 The Fordyce rail road replaced the train called the H spot with a new train called the 101. This train ran from Fordyce to Princeton for several years. My grandfather Walter Smith was the brakeman on this engine. The engineer was Fred Garner. My grandfather was walking down a car behind the engine in 1934 when an arm on a water tower struck him in the abdomen which later caused cancer resulting in his death. I am proud to see this engine is now restored and rest at its home site at Fordyce for all the community and visitors to see. This was one of the first working steam engines in Dallas County, Arkansas.

(Now for the cache.) Your looking for a small magnetic contact lens case painted a dull red. The train is a coal black color so red will help you find it. Lots of places to search. ( The train engine is in a park area dedcated for viewing the engine). A old fence seperates the area from a working Train Track. Enjoy the museum made from a old depot thats close by.
((If you give up)). Read the hint, hint should help you.
