Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:

This cache is located near to the where the Upper Douglas Cable Tramway Depot and Winding House where located. Just like the trams still running in places like San Francisco, the cable trams were pulled along by a constantly moving cable that ran in a channel under the ground. To control the tram, the driver operated a mechanism which gripped or released the cable through a slot running between the tracks. The winding house was where the machinery that kept the cable moving was located. When the line closed the site became a bus depot before being demolished.

This is one of 3 caches along the route of the old tramway and is a 35mm film canister and contains a log, pencil and for the FTF an unused IOM postage stamp from 1988 which featured a picture of one of the cable trams in operation.
