Geocache Description:

The Cache are hidden in an area of great local historic importance. My suggestion is that you start from either Bjørnfjell Railwaystation (norwegian side),or from Riksgränsen Hotel (swedish side). A see-trough tuperware box with a violet top. .The first person to find the box, please do describe the content.There should not be any trouble to find this cache, even during the winter-season

The engine depot was completed in time for the inauguration of the Riksgrensen Railwayline 14th july 1903.The depot was equipped with a shunting turnable in the middle of the building, to facilitate changing engines, and there was room for for a total of ten railway engines.Notice that the turnable was build inside the roundhouse.Maybe they did it because of the extreme weather conditions in winter.The engine depot was closed down in 1923 because of electrification of the railroad.
