A quick drive by cache that can also be done by public transport if you are up for a short walk from the new station.
You need to be a bit stealthy, as homes are nearby and a bit of traffic and pedestrians around you are looking for a camouflaged eclipse tin, log only.

This cache is in memory of the old railway station that was here for 141 years and permanently closed on 3 October 2011.
Schofield's Station which was 43.75 km from Central Station and opened in 1870 to service the then fledgling town of Schofield's was demolished in October 2011 to open the new Station 800mts away.
The old Schofield's station was a single side platform with street level access on the eastern side of the track. A pedestrian level crossing to the north of the platform allowed access to the other side of the track.
The Schofield's Produce Grain Shed, which had stood alongside the car park and protruded onto the station for close to a century, was destroyed on the 19th December 2009 by heavy moving equipment that was moved in late on Friday and completely gone by Saturday evening.
The overpass was built in conjunction with the new railway station 800mts south to allow residents to cross the line.
You don't need to do anything dangerous or get dirty, keep in mind the terrain and difficulty rating.
Enjoy.
