We ran across this one while doing a benchmark excursion in Wichita on our way back from Meades Ranch Benchmark,The Geodetic Center of the Nation.
Or you may know it as NAD 27.
We had a great time at the Geocaching event.
Then to find all these nice Historic goodies added to the fun.

I really like when you just happen to stumble on to History,Don't you?

Additional hint:
Go to the west side of tracks if closed and walk up.

As always have fun be safe and

HAPPY............................................WAYMARKING
