Geocache Description:

Not your usual rail trail.  Ties & track still in place. Recommend walking only, but if you want to try it by bicycle, it could be done.


From wikipedia:

"Runaway Train" is a power ballad by American rock band Soul Asylum. It was released in June 1993 as the fourth single from their 1992 album, Grave Dancers Unionand became a big success all around the world. In mid 1993, it reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100, number two on the U.S. Top 40 mainstream and climbed to the top position on the Canadian Singles Chart. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America and sold 600,000 copies domestically. The song led Soul Asylum to international status, and helped bring their album,Grave Dancers Union to a multi-platinum level. The track won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 1994.

 

Several versions of the video were made. The video for the United States begins with a fade to a black screen with big, white blocked text reading: "There are over one million youth lost on the streets of America", whereas the UK version begins with "100,000 youth are lost on the streets of Britain".   Throughout the music video, various images of children running, or appearing with injuries from abuse, are shown. During the choruses, pictures of missing children would appear on the screen. After each picture was shown, their full name would appear in large capital letters on the screen, along with the year they had been "missing since...".

 

 

Cache is along the railroad tracks.  Many earlier caches here have been archived, so I thought I'd replace a few.  Most are on the trailsode of the tracks unless otherwise noted.
