Geocache Description:

The posted Coordinates will take you to a sign describing the History of the Niles Michigan Central Railroad. This sign has information to solve puzzle below

On that sign you must find the following clues: 1) Count the Total number of letters in the Titles of the Last two films listed on the Plaque. Add this number to the last 3 digits of the N coordinate to get final 3 digits of N Coordinates. 2) Count the total number of letters in the oval at the top the plaque, and add it to the number of letters in what is depicted in the center of the oval, then subtract that sum from the last 3 digits of the W coordinate Niles is an old Historic town. This area was explored by LaSalle and Historic Fort St Joseph, which flew 4 different country flags, was located on the St Joseph River in what is now Niles. The Old Sauk Indian Trail, connecting Michigan with Indiana and Illinois, came right through here. Then when Michigan Ave (Now US 12) was forged from Fort Gratiot (Now Detroit) to Fort Dearborn (Now Chicago), it came through. When the Railroads were connecting America, the Michigan Central Railroad was surveyed through Niles. Since being built in 1892 this station has been used in a several movies.
