Welcome to the Bellefonte Central Rail Trail Geocache Series. This
3-stage cache will have take you along the abandoned Bellefonte
Central Railroad between Waddle and I-99/220, which has been
converted into a rails-to-trails path for hiking, biking, and
horseback riding.
Early Rise and Scotia
"The iron ore trade revived briefly in the early 1900s, and the BFC
supplied ore to two large furnaces in the Bellefonte area. It even
built a three-mile branch to the community of Scotia, to tap ore
deposits that were previously mined by Andrew Carnegie to supply
his Pittsburgh steel mills (via a separate branch of the
Pennsylvania Railroad). The McNitt-Huyett Lumber Company logged the
forests around Scotia and for several years shipped hundreds of
carloads of wood products via the Bellefonte Central."
--Excerpted from 'Bellefonte Central Railroad - Historical
Summary' by Michael Bezilla and Jack Rudnicki
The cache should take you just over 2 miles to complete from State
1 to the Final, and for the most part the path is easy, level and
well maintained, but some bushwacking might be necessary at each
stage.
