Sorry about the fence. My wife would not have appreciated me standing on the roof of the car. After all, it was our 3rd anniversary and I stopped to take train pictures. All these years later she's gotten used to it.

Some interesting history, built in 1936 by Henschel & Son for Gruen & Bilfinger Construction of Germany. Sold to Mack Lowry in 1961. I was able to find a 1983 photo of it at Quaker Square.
