Pennsylvania Rail Road
CAN BE REACHED WITHOUT GOING DOWN THE BANK. The cache is located on Red Bank rails to trails at St.Charles. There is parking close by. The coords on the trail are usually bouncy. This part of the trail is very scenic and filled with history. Where orange in hunting season. You are looking for the usual hide along the trails. FTF gift. Enjoy your walk on the trail.
Here is a little bit of history on the Pennsylvania Rail Road, provided by Dennis at http://shawmutline.com/
In the late 1980s and early 1990s the Pittsburg &Shawmut began expanding with the purchase of the Conrail Railroad the (former PRR) low grade secondary line from Lawsonham, Pa to Driftwood, PA. The ten mile line from Lansonham to Sligo was first and was named the Red Bank Railroad. They had no locomotives or rolling stock, all P&S equipment was used. Shortly after, the rest of the Low Grade was purchased from Conrail and became the Mountain Laurel Railroad. The Mountain Laurel had six GP10 locomotives, but no other rolling stock. The P&S and MNL locomotives were used on all three railroads and P&S as well as other hoppers were also used system wide. In April 1996 all three lines were purchased by Genesee & Wyoming. A few years later all operations were asorbed into the Buffalo & Pittsburgh. < /p>
