* NOTE
NOTE NOTE * Cache was relocated 12/1/07 due to nearby
construction!
Special
thanks goes to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum for permission
to place this cache. Please come by and see a marvelous collection
of railroad rolling stock and take a ride on a real steam
locomotive on a three-mile trip through the 900'+ Missionary Ridge
tunnel and watch as the locomotive gets on the turntable for the
three mile return trip! The volunteers of the TVRM would love to
share their enthusiasm of railroading with you and your
family...consider getting a family membership (as we have) and
coming to ride #610! See Southern 4501 (seen in the movie 'October
Sky', 'Fled' and more), Southern 630 and many other steam, diesel
and other railroad hardware. Visit them at www.tvrail.com.
This is a theme only cache,
please do not take any items if you do not have a railroad item to
leave, but feel free to sign the log and gain a smiley. Junior
Spider donated a lot of the items in the cache and we have started
the cache out right, in a standard size ammobox.
Please
see the www.tvrail.com website for Museum and
trainyard hours. Special permission has been granted to visit the
cache site if outside the normal hours of operation, so please
don't abuse the privilege by going where you shouldn't be
going!
As a thank
you to the TVRM for allowing us Geocachers unprecedented access,
the cache will soon contain a bunch of 35mm containers with a small
plastic bag in each one, please take one on your way out and fill
it with any trash you might find in the picnic area and deposit it
in a trash container. Use the 35mm container as a micro
cache elsewhere!
To quote Bill Peet in 'The Caboose
who got Loose'..."The engine up front always wore a big smile..."
Come when open and ride the train!
