Brain,

My dad and mom maintained a home in Gypsum, Colorado.

Because of the frequency that my dad was required to change work locations, it was decided not to move to each work location.

The descriptions are from letters that he wrote to my mom.
Many other descriptions were in letters to me while I was stationed in Germany.

Yes, the section was required to patrol ahead of each train.
