Geocache Description:

Another in Disappearing Railway Blues caches throughout NW Oregon. Each highlighting structures or tracks of railways (or streetcars) of yesteryear. Many of which we could use again. This is the second Geocache dedicated to the streetcars of Eugene. Be sure to visit my original one: GC1F305.


During construction on Willamette Street in downtown Eugene, they uncovered streetcar tracks. An urban archaeologist was called in and they investigated the rail and brought back the history of the former streetcar system. In another part of Eugene they found more rail. It was decided on Willamette Street to put a little homage to the former streetcar system by embedding rail in the pedestrian island that was being put in. They also noted that Willamette St was part of the College Crest Line from 1910-1927. The cache is located near this pedestrian island, in a much safer spot, but do watch for bicyclists

This cache also qualifies for the Disappearing RR Blues bonus cache.
