Just a typical P&G guardrail cache to welcome you to Redbank. If you continue down the hill on this paved road to the very end you will come to the parking area for the Armstrong Trail and the Redbank Valley Trail at the confluence of Redbank Creek and the Allegheny River. There are many geocaches along both trails in that area.
Congrats go to jimmypop1 for FTF.
In the early-mid 1900s Redbank was a busy town with a railroad station, coal tipple, iron furnace, coke ovens, etc. I even know an older lady who used to board the train at Redbank in the 1930s and rode it to high school up north at East Brady everyday. Today, only a few houses remain and they are all up on top of the hill before you go the whole way down into the parking area. However, you can still see the old coal tipple, part of the old water tank for the trains, coke ovens, the foundation of the iron furnace works, etc. if you care to explore the area. There are geoaches by all of them.
FYI - If you are headed to Rimer next, your GPS will no doubt point you down this dirt road, Scenic Road. But be aware, it has no winter maintenance, virtually no summer maintenance, and usually has washouts and ruts as you get down closer to Rimer. Unless you have a 4x4 it is probably better to go back out this paved road to the stop sign and turn right on Madison Road - that will take you right down into Rimer. There is a parking area for the Armstrong Trail just as you enter Rimer and the trail in that area has plenty of geocaches along it!
