I used garyhenry's coordinates to approach this one. I walked 0.5 mile along the railroad tracks from Rainbow Ave. Found the benchmark as described, in fair condition.

Camera is pointing down, and east. Due to the condition of this BM (fair), the stampings are hard to read.

My Garmin eTrex Vista was .10 of a mile off and I finally reread the description and biked on to Regnart Creek and found it and posting the above coordinates. But, it's pretty easy to find. Half way between McClellan Road and Rainbow.

Disk in good condition. Best approach I could find was to walk down the dirt service road that parallels the tracks starting from McClellan Road. Distance .6 miles.
