The Northlander was a Canadian passenger train operated by the Ontario Northland Railway in Ontario. In March 2012, the Ontario Northland Transportation Commission announced plans to discontinue the Northlander and replace it with bus service.[1] The final train ran on September 28, 2012. The Northlander operated 6 days per week year-round in both directions and connected Cochrane with Toronto. The train typically consisted of one engine, an auxiliary power unit, two coaches and a cafeteria lounge car. The Northlander ran on ONR tracks from Cochrane to North Bay and on CN tracks south of North Bay to Toronto.
The Cache is not at the posted coordinates.
In order to find the cache you will need to solve a simple puzzle.

Now some simple math
For the North use 43 G (A+B).(A+E) F D
For the West use 79 DE.B A (E-D)

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!
