The cache is located near the southern end of the Rodwell Trail, a footpath/cycleway on part of the old railway line which ran from Weymouth to Easton (on the Isle of Portland). The line closed in 1965.
The platforms for three of the stations along the route are still in situ, Wyke Regis Halt being one of them. Look through the brambles on the west side of the trail as you make your way to the cache.
The search begins at the above coordinates where there is plenty of parking.
Substitute numbers for letters where appropriate.
Firstly look for a year on a black & white picture.

Then go to N 50 35.a(b-2)c W 002 28.(c-2)(a-1)3

The cache, a black film canister in a clear ziplock bag, is located at N 50 35.clm W 002 28.lhf
For interest the other stations Rodwell and Westham Halt can be located at
N 50 36.209 W 002 27.671 and N 50 36.712 W 002 27.618 respectively.
If you prefer a longer walk or a cycle ride Westham Halt is close to Weymouth town centre and at the northern end of the trail. This longer version is about a 5 mile return trip.
Enjoy the hunt and the little bit of history.
Beware of dog walkers and, especially, your footing near the cache site.
