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Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone.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:

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

Another road bridge over the railway but this time near Candy Mill Farm. The road bridge is still in use but the far looks like it has seen better days. How I would love to own this place and get it back to its former glory.
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 loking for a 1.3litre clip and lock in a cammo bag which contained, when placing:
Log book - do not remove
FTF keyring for the FTF'er (mold monsters maybe ????)
Eyeball squirter
Water pistol
2 mini skull pencils
