Geocache Description:

E-lo Wa-ya began the placement of caches that commuters could pick up on their way to or from work. He offered up that anyone could add to the series as they wished so I have :). Easy park and grab at the Fort Sheridan Train Stop on the Union Pacific North Line

Not much to say except that this series could be done on a bike. In its current form, the one way bike distance is 4.5 miles. Note you do not need to go near the tracks to grab this one. It is not near the tracks and one can usually park across the street if you are biking.

Fort Sheridan Station is one of two stations on Metra's Union Pacific/North Line located in Fort Sheridan, Illinois. The station is officially located at 461 West Old Elm Road, and is 25.7 miles (41 km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center, the southern terminus of the Union Pacific/North Line. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Fort Sheridan is located in zone F.
Parking at Fort Sheridan Station is maintained by the City of Highwood, and is available on both sides of the tracks. Street-side parking is available on the west side of the tracks along Western Avenue and Hyacinth Place south of West Old Elm Road, and on the east side of the tracks near both corners of West Old Elm and Sheridan Roads.
