Description
Much like a cow in a tornado, the trains here go round and round.
Here's a few trains getting dizzy at the "historically and scientifically rare" Bethungra Spiral. Maybe they can help you find a geocache as it is NOT AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES.
The geocahe can be found at S34 AA.AAB E147 CC.CCD
TrainAAAA - Find the 4 digit train number (broken in 2 parts in image). Add 677 = AAAA
TrainB - Find the number of windows on the front of the train. Add 3 = B
TrainCCCC - Find the 4 digit train number. Subtract 715 = CCCC
TrainD - Find the number of engine wheels on the rail closest to the viewer before the jet of steam. Subtract 1 = D
There's a checker on the website version of this listing for your convenience.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO CROSS ANY FENCE TO FIND THIS CACHE!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO CROSS ANY RAILWAY TRACKS TO FIND THIS CACHE!
(It has been noted on a forum that an AWD got stuck on a rail whilst crossing to go up the hill here, but finally managed to get it unstuck with 20 minutes to spare before the next train came through - SO JUST DON'T)
Don't forget there is another Geocaching website that might have caches nearby too.

Logs
It's been a while since I first visited this spot and the lookout makes it so much better.
Found it laying away from it's hide and returned it to where it belonged.
Thanks for the cache,

Solved the puzzle easily then visited the final location today and soon found the cache. This is the third time I've visited this spot to find a cache, but I still haven't seen a train here yet!
TFTC
*FTF* @ 3:31pm on 27 February 2023 I solved this one yesterday but had no intention in heading out here to find it today. It was only after a spontaneous trip to Wagga today and having some free time before getting home that I decided on finding the new caches out this way including this one. It was a fun little puzzle to solve. Once at GZ I made a quick find in the logical spot. GZ Coordinates for me was +-7m but was still easy enough to find. Thanks for the cache and this is another FTF added to the list for me.
