Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES

The cache is not located at the above coordinates.  They do point to a great place to take someone out for a birthday dinner, which is why this cache was placed – in celebration of a good friend’s birthday.
 
To find the final container, all you need to know are two things:
 
1)      The white number on the red train car
2)      Mel’s favorite book series
 
Let ABC be the digits of the answer to #1 and D be the total number of letters in answer #2 (which is two words).
 
Now some simple math:
 
E = A * (C – B)
F = 3 * B
G = D – B
 
You can find the cache at the following coordinates:
 
N 45 32.(E)(A)
W 122 52.(F)(G)
