About SideTracked Caches
This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breath taking view. It's a distraction for the weary traveller, but anyone else can go and find it too. More Information can be found on the SideTracked Series website at www.sidetrackedseries.info https://www.sidetrackedseries.info

Opened in 1857, Westerfield Station is a tiny, little-used station on the East Suffolk line from Ipswich to Lowestoft.  In 1877, the Felixstowe branch line was opened with the junction lying a short distance east of Westerfield Station.  Originally a tramway was planned from Ipswich to Felixstowe but George Tomline proposed, instead, a proper railway line running from Westerfield to Felixstowe.  This means that to travel due East from Ipswich to Felixstowe, trains actually leave Ipwich in a westerly direction, looping around the north of the town before turning east again.

Despite regular services stopping at the station, located in a small village and with no parking, the station does not have a high number of passenger numbers.
