Geocache Description:


Visit the attractive Piedmont town of Orange, western terminus of the former Virginia Central
Railway! And find one of the geocaches in the Railroad Knutz series while you are there!!

While it was not at the height of railroading a very large town, and is even now not a very large town, Orange was actually a significant railroading junction. Now just a waystation along the Norfolk Southern main line through the region, back in the 1800s it was the terminus of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. Orange was significant enough that when the Potomac, Fredericksburg and Piedmont Railroad, later to become the Virginia Central Railway, was built, Orange was chosen over other Piedmont towns to be the western terminus of the line from Fredericksburg.

While the Virginia Central Railway is no longer operating, its depot in Orange still remains, separated from the old Orange and Alexandria station pictured above by an attractive little park. It is at the old Virginia Central depot that you will find the cache.

Another form of transportation also stops here, TOOT, Town of Orange Transit buses, so watch out for muggles!

For more information about the history of the Virginia Central Railway and plans for its re-development as a public greenway, please go to Virginia Central Railway Trail.

This cache is part of the Railroad Knutz series by the Cachew Knutz. For information about the series and the fabulous golden spike for the first to find the whole series, please check out the ultimate cache in the series, RR Knutz: The Golden Spike.
