She must REALLY love you!

I'm also blessed with a wife that is very understanding.

A very pretty lady. I'll bet it was hell for her to walk on that ballast in those high heels. When my wife and I were dating, we'd often go into rail yards but she kept a pair of flat shoes to change into in order to walk along with me.
Thanks for posting and sharing your photo.

I kinda had the same problem, but just last year, Frank. It was our anniversary and my wife wanted to go someplace expensive. SO, I took her to a gas station.

Did GS-6s have tapered main rods?

Accounting for inflation, that would be about $80 today. Quite a deal, I'd say.

If you could see the trailing truck, didn't the two GS-5s have roller bearings?
