Cache Details:
You have to get to GZ from Gills Neck Rd., you cannot get to the cache from Freeman Highway.
The cache is located across the road from the swing bridge.



Description:
The swing bridge over the Lewes/ Rehoboth Canal is one of the few remaining swing bridges still in operation.

The track is part of a small line, The Delaware Coast Line RR. The railroad is effectively a "dead-end" branch-line railroad ending at an industry about a mile east of the bridge, with only one crew, one locomotive, etc. The train operates at fairly low speed and the crew members on the train are often the ones cranking the bridge open and close as the train crosses. The bridge sees rail service perhaps once a week or so.
