This box continues on from box #1, "Train Depot". Facing box #1, head South either on foot,take the sidewalk to your left, or driving,take the asphalt drive to your right.
Walking Clues:
Follow rose-covered chain link fence until you reach the second bench. Approximately 12 steps from bench there will be an opening in the fence. There are signs on either side of the opening. One warns not to drink the water and the other warns that serious injury may result to persons on or near the track. Heed that warning and proceed thru the opening when no trains are approaching. Cross the tracks and walk left (Southwest) towards the light colored pedestrian bridge. Do not cross bridge. Move to the right of the bridge and have a seat between poles #3 and #4. With your left hand, reach below and behind rail to find camo-covered letterbox.

Driving Clues:
Drive a short distance South on asphalt drive that lies between the Park and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. Park in the second small parking area on your left. Look into the Park and you will see a light-colored pedestrian bridge. Go sit on the outer edge of the Northwestern end of the bridge between poles #3 and #4. You are now facing the UP railroad tracks (not the smaller park train tracks) With your left hand, reach below and behind rail to find camo-covered letterbox.
This area is often quite busy so please use discretion so that non-boxers will not vandalize this box.
