Welcome to the Chittick's Comma Club (not a) Challenge! This cache is part of my series of challenge caches that hopefully appeal to cachers who closing in or recently passed 1,000 finds, thereby creating a comma in their finds total.
But let's get one thing out of the way first: ANYONE can log this cache, whether you qualify for the challenge outlined below or not. This is a traditional cache and the challenge is 100% optional because the challenge outlined cannot be written into a challenge checker, which is one of the current stipulations on creating a challenge cache. So if you simply want another find, go for it, but if you want to play along with the challnge, read on!
GEOART!
Simply put, art created by putting out a bunch of caches which show and image or a word on the map based on the posted coordinates of those caches. This particular cache sits very close to the eastern edge of the HDJP geoart, which spells out the user name of one of Virginia's most prolific geocachers who had over 60,000 finds when he suddenly passed away in 2018. It's just one of three geoarts found on the western end of the Virginia Capital Trail, which also hosts the RVA geoart and the Eye of Horus (EOH) geoart.
So if you want to play along with this optional challenge, post a screen capture of your completed geoarts! Let's make this one cache a repository of finished geoarts so that people can get inspired, and to see that they can be completed. Not only will I recognize the FTF on this cache, but the first person to post a picture of their completed train engine in Idaho will also be recognized in the description! Note: here's a shout out to Ranger Fox for being the first to lay claim to completing the Idaho Locomotive! Scroll down and read his story on that adventure because it's, well, loco!

Congrats to Joint Cache Force 6 and Locke_and_Me on the joint FTF!
