Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the Guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions.
Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Naughty Pine, as you know, is in the heart of some pretty rugged country. Because of the difficult terrain, there are two transport companies who have battled back and forth for years.
The railroad, during winter months, gets the freight because it can keep a better schedule than the Canyon City truck lines can. But the railroad can't give door-to-door service like the trucks. So, in the good weather months, Leonard Grant keeps his trucks rolling day and night.
Spence D. Hoff and Leonard Grant don't know it yet, but they're soon going to have to get their heads together in teamwork, which neither man will do. Let's find out how Bill and the fellas handle two stubborn men in the story...
Piggyback! Hey Gordon, there's a signal from the caboose! Expense! Yes, it'll all of fire one now! Ha! It wants more speed! Well, that's it, think I'm pulling a load of kitty wagons! I got 50 freight cars on towing!
That's like a district superintendent. What should I signal back? Tell them to get out behind the caboose and push. You and your humor. Signal full high ball and that's the best we can do until we get up this grade.
Okay, I'll say, hey, there's a truck in the crossing ahead. Truck's and cows on the track, they're all the same. That's probably some broken down old crate in the driver can't get it going. That's no crate. That's a Canyon City truck.
