MN.Fruitcake: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact me (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, I'll be happy to unarchive it.

***NOTE: If you have any questions, do not reply to the archive note email. Click on the link to go to the cache page and click on my name in the archive log at the bottom of the page. You can then send me an email regarding the cache. Please send me a link to the cache in question so I will know which cache it is regarding. I will not see notes posted to this cache page once it is archived.

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

Just to be clear, this is a nano on/near a train car.

It it suppose to be extremely difficult to find.

I myself don't enjoy these "needle in the haystack" searches. However, many other people do enjoy these, and this one is for them!

If you are not one of those people, then you probably should skip this one.

Good Luck!

The Great Northern Depot in Princeton, Minnesota was a former depot on the Great Northern Railway. The building is a combination of Queen Anne and Jacobean architectural styles, built of local brick with sandstone trim. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. When the depot was built in 1902, at a cost of $15,594, it replaced a wooden frame structure. The dedication ceremony was well-attended by at least 500 people. The size of the depot, at a length of 215 feet, a height of 35 feet, and a width exceeding 37 feet, made it the largest building in Princeton. The main products shipped from the depot were agricultural and forest commodities, along with a substantial amount of brick shipped from a brickyard two miles north of Princeton.
