Geocache Description:

A fun little puzzle designed for Railfans. Recently I discovered that my young son is becoming quite the Railfan, and his mild "obsession" gave me the idea for this puzzle. Enjoy!

You may catch on to this puzzle quickly, but if not you can figure it out pretty quickly with your favorite internet search engine. Once you figure out the basis for the puzzle it would help to go to the "official website" to get the right information quickest, but you can find it quite quickly other ways online also.

The cache is placed at N 44 3A.BCD W 75 4E.FGH.

A= Toby
B= Henry-Edward-Thomas
C= "Emily" I would assume, but to be safe I will say "Thomas + Toby"
D= Douglas-James

E= Edward
F= Thomas
G= Percy-Gordon
H= Oliver - Donald (might be a little tricky)


To save you some time and brain power, this cache has nothing to do with deriving numbers from the letters of the names. If nothing is making sense to you try taking part of the hint and doing a Google search.

Should be a pretty quick find once at GZ. A small container wrapped in camo tape. You can park close to GZ. Once you are in the area of the final look East and you'll see why it was a fitting location for the cache. Bring a pen.


If you are interested, try looking up a picture of "LB&SCR E2" on Google. Does it look like anyone in particular? Someone was based on that model.




Enjoy the hunt!!
