Transcript

Here of the Woodland! Ranger Bill, warrior of the Woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, showing rare courage in the face of disaster. In the air, on horseback, or in a screaming squad car, Ranger Bill, his mind alert, a ready smile, unswerving, loyal to his mission.

And all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Let's hold up a minute pal. Okay. Oh, stop. Easy boy. Let's wear ya. You see something Bill? Yeah I did.

You see that fire lane over there? Yeah, the one with all that shrubbery in it? Right then right. Now fire that lane would be no help at all. The fire would just burn right through it.

Yeah, that sure wouldn't be much help. I'll get a crew out here first thing in the morning to clean it out. Hey, pal. Yes, pal? Aren't we somewhere near the old railway route? What was your first clue, Enrae?

Those tracks over there? Oh, ha! I didn't even see them, really! Ha, ha, ha, I guess that answers my question though. Ah, the old bridge is about a half mile from here. It seems funny. Stuck out here in the middle of the mountains.

How'd they ever build it? Well, as I understand it, Henry, they built the railroad tracks as far as they could over and through these mountains. And when they just couldn't find a way across the Shady River, they put up that bridge.

I guess the materials were brought into this area on the tracks that had already been built. Say... And we got time to go over and see it, do you think? Oh sure. I'm an all-real rush.
