Casey Jones Traditional Cache
TeamDAAK: This spot has changed a lot in the seven years since this cache's birth. The hiding spot has been iffy for a while, so I'll archive this so others may use the area.

A simple cache in a simple location. A quick park and grab. At times snow may cover the hiding spot. Congrats to da_ewoks for a super fast FTF, 19 minutes after I received the publish log and maybe 90 minutes after I hid the cache!
The story of a brave engineer.
Casey Jones was the rounder's name.
On the "six-eight" wheeler, boys, he won his fame.
The caller called Casey at half past four.
He kissed his wife at the station door.
He mounted to the cabin with the orders in his hand,
And he took his farewell trip to that promis'd land.
Chorus:
Casey Jones--mounted to his cabin,
Casey Jones--with his orders in his hand,
Casey Jones--mounted to his cabin,
And he took his farewell trip to that promis'd land.
He looked at his water and his water was low.
He looked at his watch and his watch was slow.
He turned to his fireman and this is what he said,
"Boy, we're going to reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead."
He turned to the fireman, said "Shovel on your coal,
Stick your head out the window, see the drivers roll.
I'm gonna drive her 'til she leaves the rail,
For I'm eight hours late by that Western Mail."
Chorus:
Casey Jones--I'm gonna drive her,
Casey Jones--til she leaves the rail,
Casey Jones--I'm gonna drive her,
For I'm eight hours late by that Western Mail.
When he pulled up that Reno hill
He whistled for the crossing with an awful shrill
The switchman knew by the engine's moan
That the man at the throttle was Casey Jones
When he was within six miles of the place
There No. 4 stared him straight in the face
He turned to his fireman, said "Jim, you'd better jump
For there's two locomotives that are going to bump."
Chorus:
Casey Jones--two locomotives
Casey Jones--going to bump
Casey Jones--two locomotives
For there's two locomotives that are going to bump.
Come all you rounders if you want to hear
