This cache is located at the site of an old railroad bridge over the Boston and Maine railroad. It is a wonderful area, filled with old homes, and Medford's last train station. This is a great quick gas saver/beginner cache. Enjoy!
Cache is a small container holding only a log. Bring your own pen! The coordinates for this cache should be close to its location, and from there a bit of sense should get you to find the cache. Please note that it is not located on anything within private property, so that should help narrow your search!
This location is really a unique one as, I would like to hope, it will lead you on a bit of exploration of the City's heritage. The area you are standing was once a bridge over the Boston & Maine ROW which ran to Medford Square. To one side is the Old Ship Street National Register District, home to many fine shipyard workers. To the other side is a 19th century neighborhood filled with grand old homes, and Medford's only train station. Park Street Station (on Magoun Street, corner of Thatcher Street) was built in 1895 following a request from the City's first mayor. It is now a private business. Enjoy!
