Geocache Description:

Welcome to the "I've Been Working on the Railroad Challenge". The posted coordinates are in Allaire State Park near the New Jersey Transportation Museum. There, you will find an Ammo-can hidden in a fork of a large fallen tree. You will need to fulfill the challenge requirements before logging on-line.

This is a Challenge Cache. 
It is highly suggested that you read the entire cache description before seeking this cache.
• Important information and challenge guidelines are in red
• You will need to complete the "Challenge" before logging this cache.
• The difficulty reflects the physical hide and the terrain reflects the actual terrain of the hide.
• Found logs placed on your OWN caches do not count.
• Found logs placed on caches you've adopted do count.
• Previous finds do count.
• There is no time limit or restrictions on when you find the caches.

All things considered, this should be an easy challenge to complete, but there are a few specific requirements you should meet. First, because trains come in different sizes, you will need to find at least four different cache sizes or containers: (micro, small, regular, large, other, not chosen or virtual). Second, because there are all types of different trains, you will need to find four different types. (Traditional, Multi, Puzzle, Letterbox, Wherigo, Virtual or Webcam). No railroad is complete without and locomotive, rails, caboose and stations, so be sure to include those in your found list. Finally, trains travel across long distances, so with that in mind you should find qualifying caches in at least two different states.

The Challenge
You need to find different 25 Railroad or Train related caches.
Among these 25:

- You must have at least four different cache sizes/containers: (micro, small, regular, large, other, not chosen or virtual)
- You will need to find caches of at least 4 different types. (Traditional, Multi, Puzzle, Letterbox, Wherigo, Virtual - All Event Types are excluded)
- Your "Railroad" will need to include some type of: 'Engine', 'Tracks', 'Caboose', and 'Station' The rest of the caches are of your choice, as long as they are Railroad, Train or Trolley related.
- You will need to find a train/railroad related cache in at least two different US States.


This is a CHALLENGE cache. You cannot claim this cache unless you have completed the required challenge described above
