Find a parking space near the above coordinates. Except during evenings and weekends, be sure to "feed the meter" to preclude a $3.00 fine, compliments of the "Meter Man".
At the above coordinates, you will find a monument showing several historic dates. You must use these dates to determine the actual coordinates of the final stage.
Determine the latitude for the final stage as follows: On the back of the monument, locate the relief of a Lehigh Valley RR engine that was built in Sayre, PA. Compute A = 1900 minus the year the engine was built. Compute B = the engine number divided by 10. Then, compute C = (A - B) / 1000, and add C to the minutes of latitude shown above.
Determine the longitude for the final stage as follows: Compute A = the year that was on the cornerstone of the former "footbridge" at Lockhart Street plus 100 minus the year that the LVRR ceased operations and became part of Conrail. Compute B = the year that the development of Sayre as a railroad town began minus 1700. Then, compute C = (A + B)/1000, and subtract C from the minutes of longitude shown above.
HISTORICAL NOTE: The footbridge was dismantled in July, 1987, and the cornerstone and foundation stones were saved. In September, 1991, during Sayre's centennial, the Sayre Centennial Committee and the Black Diamond Club used the cornerstone and the stone as the foundation for the memorial.
Parking is available a short distance from the cache. BYOP
NOTE: There may be a Letterbox container hidden in the vicinity of the cache, but there's no need for confusion - the cache container is clearly marked with the name of the cache.
Interested in a look at some LVRR history? At N 41° 58.865' W 076° 30.865' you will find the old LVRR passenger terminal, now home of the Sayre Historical Society Museum. It's well worth a visit. Also, at N 41° 59.445' W 076° 31.285' you will find the old LVRR freight terminal, now home to an Italian restaurant.
