Description EN
Visit each historical location associated with the Huntingdon & Broad Top Railroad. Please plan for approximately three hours to complete all 7 geocache locations but each location can be completed on their own. Although you are encouraged to visit the museums that some of the geocaches are located, they can be completed year round because the caches are outside and independent from the museums.

The cache is located at the Riddlesburg Coke Ovens. There is a parking area on the opposite side of the road. The camouflaged geocache is easy to find and the cache's location can be seen from the road so keep an eye out for muggles. Some historical information on the coke ovens: The coke ovens were opened in 1912 and were used to create coke by heating coal. The coke was then sent to Pittsburgh for the forging of steel. It was closed and reopened 2 times until its final closing in 1946.
