mtn-man: A slight risk is unacceptable. This cache has been archived.
It is a Federal offense to place an object like a Geocache near an active rail line. A Geocacher has been arrested, jailed, had to go to court and paid a large fine for placing a cache near an active railroad line. The local bomb squad destroyed his cache. If this is an active line, even if it is only used infrequently, this cache must be moved or removed. This is covered in the guidelines and requirements to place a cache:

Also, check out the cacher's problems on this cache page. Note the May 5 log:

The cache must be at least 150' from the rail line to be approved. If you move the cache let me know and I can assist with modifying the coordinates.
NOTE: If you have any questions, do not reply to the archive note email. Click on the link to go to the cache page and click on my name in the archive log at the bottom of the page. You can then send me an email regarding the cache. Please send me a link to the cache in question so I will know which cache it is regarding.
Sorry,
