Once a strong, busy and vital railroad town, Sayre, Pennsylvania is today a quiet place, one where time seems to have passed it by. Home to the Northern division headquarters for the former Lehigh Valley Railroad, Sayre provided thousands of jobs to railroad employees from the 1870’s through the railroad’s golden age and on into the post World War II era.
Sayre was a stop for the famous "Black Diamond Express" carrying passengers to Buffalo, New York & Philadephia.
This box was planted in the town I was born, in honor of my Grampa Henry who was a fireman on this railroad for many years until he retired.
To find this box: park in the town parking lot on the corner of Desmond St & W. Lockhart St. in Sayre, PA. Here you will find the famous #95011 Black Diamond Caboose restored in it's orginial LVR colors. Walk around the back side of the caboose. With your back to the railroad tracks, and facing the caboose, note the yellow hand rail and the number marker LT WT 44400 on the side of the caboose. Follow the yellow handrail to the underside of the caboose. Underneath you will find what you seek hidden on the ledge.
Make sure when you rehide this box, you push it back in the corner on the ledge, so it does not fall off. Take some time to walk down the street to the old Leigh Valley Train Station and home of Sayre's Historical Society.
An extra special item is hide inside for the first to find my treasure!
