Current Goal

This is an example of a 4-4-0 "American"-type steam locomotive, one of the earliest and most popular designs of locomotives.  As of May 2017, there are approximately 60 operable 4-4-0 steam locomotives that are operational in the USA.  Two of them are less than 100 miles north of where this TB will be dropped off - those two are at the Golden Spike National Historic Site.  I would love to see this TB visit there (with photos of the TB there as well) - and then perhaps make its way along various rail-related caches or near the route of the original Transcontinental Railroad.

If not, from cache to cache is fine too - but I'd prefer to see some train-related locations mixed in!
