The benchmark is under the middle pine tree's canopy. The benchmark is about flush with the ground. The best way to find the mark is to travel parallel to the old railroad grade from the small corner/indent in the parking lot. You can view the grade on OpenStreetMap. You can also just follow the street parallel.
