Geocache Description:

1 of 15 caches hidden along the route of the old Chester to Denbigh Railway.

Another bridge crossing similar to Gelli Bridge but just a little bit closer to Denbigh at Sarn
The Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway company was incorporated on the 6 August 1861 to build a 15.75-mile (25.35 km) link railway between the Mold Railway and the Vale of Clwyd Railway. The line opened on 12 September 1869 and was worked by the London and North Western Railway (LNWR), although it remained independent. Under the 1922 Railway grouping, the line became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS); and on nationalisation became part of British Rail.
The line was closed to passengers on 30 April 1962 not, as many believe, under the Beeching Axe, which was to come later. Goods traffic prevailed for two decades following the cessation of passenger services, serving the nearby Synthite Chemical works; though the line was very much reduced at this stage, terminating at the Synthite works and forming a junction with the network at Penyffordd, where once it had continued through Broughton and on to Saltney Junction. Mold station survived until 1983 (though occupied by a builders merchant), when the Synthite works transferred from rail to road haulage, and the line was subsequently lifted, having now lost its last remaining usage. Mold station was demolished shortly after and was redeveloped as a supermarket.
You are looking for a small magnetic container containing the logbook.
