Geocache Description:

PLEASE READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION, ESPECIALLY CACHE NOTES - CONTAINER NEEDS SPECIAL TREATMENT
This is a well-maintained section of the "Cyprus Governmental Railway" which was closed down in 1951. The stretch of the railway begins at the nearby linear park where you can find the remains of a station and ends at... the no-man's land

The Cyprus Government Railway was a 2 ft 6 inch narrow gauge railway network that operated in Cyprus from October 1905 to December 1951. With a total length of 76 miles (122 km), there were 39 stations, stops and halts, the most prominent of which served Famagusta, Prastio Mesaoria, Angastina, Trachoni, Nicosia, Kokkinotrimithia, Morphou, Kalo Chorio and Evrychou. The CGR was closed down due to financial reasons. An extension of the railway which was built to serve the Cyprus Mines Corporation operated until 1974. There is also a small museum dedicated to this railway in the village of Evrychou, on the way to Troodos mountains.
** CACHE NOTES **
As this cache has been muggled and destroyed many times I had to think of a new hide and increase the difficulty to ensure it won't get lost again. Now is more fun as well. The cache is a micro with space only for the logbook. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN RETRIEVING THE CACHE AND DON'T LET IT FALL IN, as it will be lost forever and replace carefully as found.
