About SideTracked Caches
This cache belongs to the SideTracked Series...a series probably familiar to anyone that has been caching in the United Kingdom. SideTracked Caches are intended to provide quick Cache-and-dashes at Train Stations...a distraction for the weary traveller. And of course, anyone else can go and find them too.

About Glen Waverley Station
Glen Waverley railway station is the terminus of the suburban electrified Glen Waverley line in Victoria, Australia. It serves the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Glen Waverley, and opened on 5 May 1930.
The original station was built adjacent to Springvale Road, until it was relocated west to its current location in 1964. The old station building was relocated to Epping, which became the terminus of the Epping line in November 1964. The section between Syndal and Glen Waverley was duplicated on 29 November 1964. It was upgraded to a Premium Station on 16 August 1995.
Stabling facilities are located directly opposite to the station. On 23 June 1979, a fire destroyed Tait motor carriage 339M whilst stabled in No. 4 track. The fire also damaged trailer carriage 407T and two stabled Hitachi sets.
In 2012, construction of the "Ikon" apartment complex began on the station site, as part of VicTrack's station precinct enhancement program. The $70 million development was completed in 2013, with the proceeds being used to fund a $1.8 million upgrade to the station forecourt. Works were completed in mid 2014.

The Cache
This cache is outside railway property and should be a quick find.
It is close to the footpath, it is a 35mm film canister, well camouflaged.
Congratulations to spiffy- on a very quick FTF.
