The cache title is Silver Train, but this train was a gold train. The train came from the Homestake Gold Mine in South Dakota. The Homestake was the largest, deepest, and longest operating gold mine in North America and produced 44,000,000 ounces of gold in its 125 year lifetime.
To find this cache first locate the car in the photo.
On the front of the car is a plate with some words and numbers. Take the first number and subtract 2. This is A.

Cache is located at N 38º 25.0A1’ W 105º 14.5B3’
Cache is a small jar with room for a little swag and smaller trackables. It is located in a very public area so please use appropriate stealth. There is a travel bug and a little FTF prize. Please feel free to add your own photos as long as they do not contain spoilers. Bring your own calligraphy tool.
The information on the origin of the train came from the convenience store owners who also transported all of this from South Dakota to Cañon City. If you have the urge stop in and thank them, or better yet fill up your tank and grab a snack.
