Geocache Description:

A winter-friendly micro in the Village of Goodeve.  This cache is part of a gradually-expanding G.T.P.R. series gathered into this live bookmark list


Goodeve was named after the first merchant who settled in the area, Mr. Good, and his wife, Eva.

Back when the Grand Trunk Railway Company was planning a western expansion of their established 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.  Goodeve is part of the second cycle, situated between Fenwood and Hubbard.

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