This cache is located on Baron Street which is the location of the East Lancashire Railway's carriage and wagon works and locomotive works (brick building). There is a rather unnassuming level crossing here and if you are lucky you will see a movement across it, be it a steam locomotive going off to haul a service to Rawtenstall or returning to shed after a hard days work. The line through here is only a siding now, giving access to the sheds, but once upon a time this was the main line from Manchester Victoria through to Accrington and beyond. After the passenger service north of Bury ceased, the Bury electrics 504 units ran the Manchester Victoria to Bury (Bolton Street) service, travelling across Baron Street. With the creation of Bury interchange the trains were diverted leaving the station free for preservation, although a once a week coal train still traversed the line from Castleton, through Bury to Rawtenstall. The 504 units were housed in the locomotive works until withdrawal when the Metrolink came along. For this period of time the East Lancashire Railway stopped north of the level crossing, only acquiring the line after the Metrolink came along. The locomotive shed was threatened with demolition however, and was only stopped at the 11th hour. The building became listed with the bulldozers on site.
This cache is a clip lock box but you will have to reach for it and not suitable for small children to grab, hence the terrain 3 (If you feel this is easier than I envisage then please state this on the log and I will take a look at it). You might also get your feet wet if it's been raining!
