They scrubbed the overalls that had been worn on an engine or in the roundhouse, and battled against dust storms that ruined their labors. They missed their families back home, and longed for trees and flowers in the red dirt yard. To create a sisterhood among their fellow railroader wives, they formed networks and societies such as the Railroad Ladies Auxiliary shown here with their new charter on June 14, 1897.
