This is what I hope is the first of several caches along a new walking path being developed by the local Southern Lancaster Co. Historical Society. Please use the posted parking so that you don't have to cross Rt. 222 which is a very busy road.
The Lancaster, Oxford and Southern (LO&S or Little Old and Slow as it was known by the locals) was the first narrow gauge railroad in PA and first went into operation in 1873, connecting Peach Bottom in Lancaster Co. and Oxford in Chester Co. A connection to Quarryville was added in 1915. The line was used primarily as a passenger line, and by local farmers to get their produce to market. The line operated until 1919 when it was put out of business by the advent of trucks. The line was torn up and the equipment sold for scrap. One gas powered car remains in the Railroad Museum at Strasburg, PA.
The cache is being placed with the permission of the local Historical Society. Cache is a Small so BYOP.
