Geocache Description:

A regular-sized cache near Undora Junction. This cache is part of the G.T.P.R. series gathered into this bookmark list


Undora Junction is one of those places that was established and never amounted to much more than a railroad siding. When a train is not passing through, this is a quiet and remote place with some old fencing to separate the siding from surrounding farmland.

Undora Junction was the name of a railroad siding that was established as part of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad. Back when the Grand Trunk Railway Company was planning a western expansion of their establish rail system, an unknown person devised an alphabetical naming scheme to name all of the un-named stations and lines, starting in Manitoba, cycling five full rounds of the alphabet, and starting a sixth before finally ending at Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Undora is part of the second cycle, situated between Tate and Venn... well, actually between Nokomis and Venn. Tate is the next stop east of Nokomis. The alphabetic inconsistency occurred because Nokomis had been established before the G.T.P.R. naming exercise.

Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad went out of business in the early 1920's. The railroad was taken over by the Canadian government and has become the main line for the Canadian National Railroad which is very active to this day.
