Geocache Description:

I have always loved trains, guess that I am an "FRN". I waited too long to set up the cabboose caches closer to home, so this one will make up for it! The cache is a magnetic key holder, bring your own pencil.

If you are a railfan, Millen is the place to be. Geography-wise, Millen might be considered to be out in the middle of nowhere. Railroad-wise, nothing could be further from the truth. Located more-or-less between Savannah and Augusta, and situated on US-25 just north of the Ogeechee River, Millen receives all traffic from Savannah on the NS (ex-Central of Georgia), and contains a yard and full wye. Traffic for Augusta goes north; traffic for Macon goes west. This is not a sleepy little junction. The yard is active, and with Sandersville to the west generating large volumes of kaolin clay, a lot of traffic from the west uses the north leg up to Augusta.
