Geocache Description:

CP 3651 Consolidation
CPR 3651 is a class N2a Consolidation (2-8-0) built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1910. It has 63" drivers. The locomotive is on display at the Canadian Pacific Depot, Lethebridge, Alberta, Canada.

A steam locomotive is a locomotive that produces its power through a steam engine. The term locomotive refers to any self-propelled vehicle. This may also include a road locomotive such as a traction engine or steam car, however when the term is used on its own, it commonly refers to a railway locomotive. Its purpose is to haul a train for freight wagons or passenger coaches along a railway track. The locomotive is usually fueled by coal, wood or oil. This fuel is burned to produce steam in a boiler, which drives the steam engine. Both fuel and water supplies are carried with the locomotive, either on the locomotive itself or in wagons pulled behind.

Beginning in Britain, steam locomotives dominated railway transportation from the start of the 19th century, until the middle of the 20th century. They were gradually improved and developed in their over 150 years of use. Starting in about 1930, other types of engines were developed, and steam locomotives were gradually superseded by diesel and electric locomotives.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates but you have to go there and find a plaque what gives you some of the missing information for this puzzle. You also will have to go around the machine and look for some information marked on it. You do not have to cross the barrier fance there because you can see everything from outside. But please BYOP. So here it is. There is also a five dollar FTF card at the extra coords what is on an extra paper in the cache container. Please do not live the extra coords in the container once you found it. FTF prize is under a brick by the corner post.

A = The amount of all the small wheels minus the amount of all the large wheels on the machine.

N49*41.(The last three digits of the posted latitude divide by A)+A)xA
W112*50.(The Gals of oil divide by the amount of all the small wheels on the machine) then subtract the number of the day this was placed and then add the number of the month this Locomotive was built.
