Geocache Description:

Another cache in a short (for the time being) series of caches placed along part of the now disused, East Fife Central Railway. Which closed in 1964.

The area above where the cache has been placed was the site of a large water tank that supplied the
steam engines that ran on the East Fife Central Railway on its way to and from Lochty Station.
The water tank was demolished sometime in the Seventies. And was a square concrete construction with a hole on top which allowed access to us kids, who used it as a den. And a place to hide from the local farmer, after we had lined the inside of it with straw from his recently cut corn fields nearby.
Ah happy days.
Cachers who find these details interesting can see vague traces of the Railways route on Google Maps, (in satellite mode). Alongside the use of a Pre-1960's OS map of the area that can be found on-line here. (visit link)

More info about the Lochty Station can be found at Kryten's “The lady vanishes” Cache page. (Although Kryten's cache has been archived, it is still available for viewing as an archived cache.@ (visit link)
And also on the East Fife Central Railway page of the RAILSCOT website. @ (visit link)

Balgrummo Embankment (GC46DWW), Coooalmann!! (GC46CAF) & Hubblegardner's Cuil a Slighe Dead Bridge Baldastard GC25J67 Caches are all part of this Railway line. So they all can be added as caches in this series. For completists, Wester Durie (GC46CBN), can be added. Although not placed as a part of this series, it is close to a now long gone bridge on the same railway line, before the road was re-routed when part of the bridge was blown down during the Storm of 1968, (known as Hurricane Low Q). Which claimed 20 lives in the January of that year.
