Geocache Description:

SECOND in a series of 3 caches. This stage is located at a historic site in Colleyville.

NOTE - due to an ambitious road crew this is now a TWO cache series. The "Trail's End" cache is gone. The coordinates above WILL NOT lead you to the cache. They will take you to Stage 1 in the (now) 2 cache series. The two stages are fairly close but involve a little driving.

The 3 caches in this series are:

Stage 1 - Park’s End

Stage 2 - Train’s End (this one)

You must do them in the above order because the coordinates for the next cache are located in the previous one.

Bring the kids. Nearby there is a bright red, restored caboose (hence the cache name) that they will like seeing, I think.

The coordinates you found at Park’s End will lead you to a dedication plaque at a historic building. You will need to locate the following information to determine the coordinates of the cache at this location.

The first and last digits of the year of dedication. These are numbers AB

The number of letters in the mayor’s last name. This is the number X

The number of letters in the first word on the plaque. This is the number Y

Add AB to 32 53.796

Add XY to 097 09.716

I have replaced the container due to water soaked log books. This cache container is now a camo'd small vitamin bottle. Cache contains a Log book only. Bring Your Own Pen. This is in a fairly open location so re-hide carefully. Make sure the “cover” does not appear disturbed.

The coordinates for the third cache, Trail’s End, are written on the underside/inside of the bottle cap and inside the front and back covers of the log book.

Additional Hints (No hints available.)
