This is part 2 of the Gandydancer Series. If you like Trains & Geocaching, this is your stop!
If you are a rail buff, then you will understand what "Gandydancer" is all about. if not, find these caches, and learn a bit of local rail history. You have the highball, start geocaching!
Railroading has been a big part of Albuquerque's tradition, despite the fact that the major railyard is around 30 miles south, in Belen, NM. nonetheless, you will find modern rail transportation (the Rail Runner), and old Relics (ATSF 2926), living side by side in the city that is home to the "halfway" points for Route 66 and the Super Chief.
Although close to rails, there is no danger of any rail traffic near the caches. Exercise caution as always, but if you find youself on or near a live track, 1: move away as quick as possible, and 2: check your coordinates, because you are most definitely in the wrong spot.
Gandydancer #2 Locale Information
Gandydancer #2 originally had a different location, but due to cache saturation, it was moved here. What a coincidence! This cache will answer some questions that are posed by another multi-cache not too far from here. A full detailed history and random factoids will be in the cache (as with all Gandydancer caches). Briefly, This track supported the Tijeras Canyon (of which a cement plant still exists), as well as the Air Force Base. The tracks are no longer in use, and most of the tracks and crossings disassembled, but The Right-of-Way is still maintained as a contingency for the Air Force.
