I have always
liked trains and when I drove by and noticed this I just had to
stop and check it out. After a little exploring I decided there
needed to be a cache here, so you are looking for a 50 Cal ammo can
hidden by the Evil
One himself. It is placed along the old abandoned CKR
Railway that runs parallel to Highway 14. While walking the trail,
I noticed wild horses in the field to the west. Be respectful and
try to not disturb them.
A little history...
The Central Kansas Railway (CKR)
(reporting mark CKRY) was a short-line railroad operating
900 miles (1,448 km) of trackage in the U.S. state of
Kansas and west to Towner, Colorado, most all of which were former
Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway lines. Owned by Omnitrax,
CKR's main business was from the Kansas wheat harvests, as well as
other traffic. The Watco Companies of Pittsburg, Kansas purchased
all of the CKR's lines on May 31, 2001 and formed the Kansas and
Oklahoma Railroad.

It was a little hard to rate this
cache as it will be a different experience for each cacher. Just
pay attention, use caution, and you will have no problems.
Enjoy.
