Geocache Description:

Pitäjänmäki was part of rural commune of Helsinki until 1946, when it was annexed to the town. Thus Pitäjänmäki became the 46th district of the capital city. The railway station was built early in 20th century. Railway connection between Helsinki and Turku was completed in 1903. Station served the people and industry of the rural commune.

Today only commuter trains A and L stop at Pitäjänmäki station and are probably the most convenient way to reach this cache. The old station building is now the headquarters of a local newspaper.

Coordinates point to the station building. First determine how many platforms there are and proceed to the one that has the highest number (=A). From the platform you can admire a rather large piece of artwork that decorates the wall of an old cargo terminal. The number of art-students who constructed the painting is B. The company that sponsored the painting has C letters in its name. Painting consists of D clearly distinct pieces and the number of horses pictured in it is E.

Now study the train timetable. The number of L-trains departing from track 2 on Sundays is F.

Update on January 14th, 2016 - Due to vandalism I add the following hints:
B is an even number
Horses are present only on 2 adjacent pieces of artwork. To the right from drainpipe their number is 2.
E is an odd number (curse those vandals)

The final coordinates for the cache are
N60°13,xxx’
E24°51,yyy’

where
xxx = 848640/(A*B*C*D)
yyy = 39*(E+F)+2*C

The box is a ½ litre Tupperware.

This is a larva cache of Railway Station of Hämeenlinna
