GC43P1W Sidetracked Moorthorpe (Traditional Cache) in Yorkshire, United Kingdom created by Ponte Raiders

This cache has been archived.

Ponte Raiders: Went to check on this today and bumped into the lady that lives adjacent - she is not keen on the cache being there, and although it is not on her property I think it is best to respect her wishes so am going to archive it.

It had definitely gone so any previous DNF'ers please feel free to log as a find.

Geocache Description:

Sidetracked caches are intended to be quick and easy grabs for people using the station in question, people who genuinely happen to be passing, or borderline lunatics who are addicted to Geocaching and simply cannot resist.......like us......

Moorthorpe is a small station on the Dearne Valley Line and the Wakefield Line both operated by Northern Rail.
The station was opened in May 1879 jointly by the Midland Railway and North Eastern Railway as part of their Swinton and Knottingley Joint Railway scheme. A short chord was also built some time later (after the 1923 Grouping) to link the S&K Joint line with the main Doncaster to Leeds line at South Kirkby Junction.
This latter connection is now part of the main line between Sheffield and Leeds and is used by Cross Country services between Edinburgh Waverley and Birmingham New Street and beyond in addition to local trains on the Leeds - Rotherham Central - Sheffield route (Wakefield Line). The junction of the two lines is immediately north of the station, with the line to York then bridging the GNR main line on its way northwards.

The cache is about a third the size of a 35mm film canister, black & magnetic. Own pen needed and tweezers may be useful.
