The mission of this travel bug is to be placed in caches near railroads - within a mile or two. Please log how close your selected cache is to a railroad and also identify the name of the railroad if you know what it is. Always be careful around railroads and stay off of the right of way.
On July 10, 2011, I decided to release the copy tag with an identical date nail attached to the TB. Same goal - move from cache to cache.
The original disappeared in Quebec.
This is a 1931 date nail from the Big 4 Railroad in Indiana. This railroad's formal name was the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and Saint Louis and it ran between those cities. It was part of the New York Central railroad and has gone through a number of other name changes since then. I found this nail way back in the 1970's. Nails like these were used to date the railroad tie when it was placed in the track.
