The Cache is not at the posted coordinates.
In order to find the cache you will need to solve a simple puzzle.
What was the exact time of day hmm = ABC - date (mmdyyyy)= DEFGHJK and the name of the person (letters in first name=L letters in surname=M) who drove the last spike on The Canadian Pacific Railway.
Now some simple math
For the North subtract (D)(L)(B+E)(A) / 1000 from the posted coords
For the West subtract ((F-D)(K+E)*10)/1000 from the posted coords
October 2016 - The final location has been moved slightly as it had been muggled twice. When you have solved the puzzle use the coords in the geochecker and add .004 to the North and add .001 to the West.

York Region Geocachers Club, in association with Kortright Centre for Conservation, hosts the annual YRGC Weekend Geofest each Spring to introduce the general public to our game along with social and interactive opportunities for veteran geocachers. Included in those opportunities we teamed up to present the Geofest Express where all geocache varieties are available for the finding.
We have expanded out of the park to bring you a series of caches from Bolton to the northern edge of Kortright and on surrounding trails. Based on Canadian railways and passenger trains, the Geofest Express geocaches are made up of both `Park and Grabs` and an additional hiking section. No tickets are required on this historic journey. Get on the track to Geofest! ALL ABOARD!
