I recovered this U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey benchmark from 1954 in good condition. This disk is also listed on a topography map as 'BM 4644'. The NGS datasheet is adequate for recovery with the exception that there is no longer a railroad station here as well as no milepole 382. My more accurate coordinates will place you very close to this station.
NGS datasheet info:
