Wallace White is not happy. He should have been home before dawn, but heavy rain near Heidenheimer caused No.53 to be late into Brownwood, where Wallace started his day, and he has her gliding down the hill into Caprock, where he'll hand the engine off to another Engineer. Mrs. White has been married to Wallace for over 40 years, and she knows how to improve his disposition. Her brother is the Second District Dispatcher, and she has already called him to get an OS on No.53. She’s cutting biscuit dough as Wallace splits the pair of searchlight signals. Hot coffee, biscuits and gravy, eggs, and breakfast sausage from Klemke’s Sausage Haus will be ready, as soon as Wallace comes into the house. She knows the crotchety old rascal well!
