Geocache Description:


Welcome to B & O Railroad! Another one in our set of Favorites-O-Poly!! Really this one doesn’t have a “Favorites” to it, unless you count in the love of history by Scott, Christy hates history.,

Oh to think back on my wonderful school days. I really loved math. So to bring back some memories for all of us I thought that I would just throw this one into our bunch! The difficulty rating is based on the puzzle, cache would be a 1.5!

At the very same moment, two trains leave Missoula, MT and Portland, OR, via Seattle, WA.

YES, on 2 different tracks!

NO TRAIN WRECKS IN THIS PUZZLE!

They travel towards each other maintaining constant speeds. The cargo train from Missoula is moving at speed of 27.5 miles per hour. With the passenger train from Portland moving at speed of 69.75 miles per hour. The distance between Missoula and Portland is 653.2 miles. The track switch that takes place in Seattle, of which the train is not moving, takes exactly 6 minutes and 27 seconds. Where will these 2 trains cross paths to mark the cache location?
