Geocache Description:


The beloved and historic Clamshell Railroad transported people, oysters, cranberries and more up and down the Long Beach Peninsula before there were paved roads! Known as the train that ran by the tide table, not by the time table, retrace the whistle stops and learn about the early days of transportation out here at the "end of the road".

Located in the heart of one of the productive cranberry bog areas of the peninsula, this whistle stop was often used to load up the tart red berries that are still intensively farmed here today.
