#51 Leiper Railway Cache II ( GC2BJB1 )

"Leiper Railway Cache II" was neat in that it was located next to what once was the first surveyed railway in the United States.  It was actually located across the creek from the Thomas Leiper House and Leiper Park.  Thomas Leiper was the founder of the railway.  It was used to haul stone from the Leiper Quarry. The old roadbed is now a gas pipeline, but the old quarry site remains.

I had the day before, found "Leiper Railway Cache" across Crum Creek near the Lieper House.  I am currently in the middle of finding "More Railway History (GCZ58Q )" which is a multi stage cache involving the Leiper Railway as well as other railroad history.
