A TOTT (Tool of the Trade) is recommended to retrieve and sign the paper log. Per geocaching rules/guidelines, you must sign the physical log in order to claim a find.
The rumble of steel on steel is no stranger to this city. Coal, cars, and cargo still roll through these mountains daily, keeping alive a tradition that built and sustains Appalachia. Here in the park, this proud locomotive stands as both a monument to the past and a mirror of the present—reminding us that the railroads still run strong.
From the engine’s front, one can almost hear the whistle echoing against the hills, just as it does when the modern freights roll by. This old iron horse may be at rest, but it still carries a spark of that same grit and determination that moves our mountains forward.
Somewhere upon this locomotive lies a secret waiting for sharp eyes and a little patience. It blends in with its surroundings, hiding in plain sight, just as the rails themselves weave quietly through the valleys.
BYOP, and please return everything as you found it so the next traveler can take the ride.
Happy hunting and may your map be filled with smileys.
