The writer worked for the Soo Line Railroad for nearly forty years. Over that period, there were many incidents that lent themselves to the possibilities he wrote about in these stories. George and Babe, who are the thread throughout all the stories, were once married and present humor in their sometimes-lovable interaction. The French Lady is not a lady at all, but an old railroad business car used in the various episodes. It was named after the French wife of a former owner of the car. I hope you find the stories interesting and view them in a light-hearted manner.
