Geocache Description:

Since The RR station is private property I decided to place this cache as close as possible withough violating the terms and services. I'm sure at some point this little island was kepy very nicely. There used to be beautiful landscaping and a sun dial. This cache is another one of my own creation. Sometimes there is downtime at woerk and I get creative.


(¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-> Congratulations to my Fiance Triniangels on the surprise FTF. Also her first Solo find.Way to go on the twofer honey <-.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯)

This cache is similar to others you have most likely seen in concept but not in looks. Be very weary of muggles before happy hour. If it is durring or after happy hour i wouldnt worry as people are usually too drunk to notice a seeker. Pay attention to how the log is attatched to the cache and please replace the same way.

 

Bayside Station was originally built on October 27, 1866, by the North Shore Railroad of Long Island, a subsidiary of the New York and Flushing Railroad. The station, along with the rest of the line was acquired by the Flushing and North Side Rail Road in 1869. The F&NS was consolidated into the Flushing, North Shore and Central Railroad in 1874 through a merger with the Central Railroad of Long Island, only to be leased in 1876 by the LIRR. The current station building dates to 1924. The tracks were depressed beneath Bell Boulevard in 1928. A freight elevator building was then opened on the eastbound side until the Port Washington Branch stopped carrying freight. The 1928 freight station remains today, being converted into a local community center. The wooden pedestrian bridge that carried commuters across the tracks to both platforms was replaced in 1998 by a decorative steel bridge. The station, along with the Port Washington line in general, is heavily used. During the 2005 New York City transit strike, the station had the distinction of being one of the few where trains stopped, bypassing lesser stations on the Port Washington branch such as Auburndale and Murray Hill.[3][4]
