Ranger Bill! 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 cover.
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. Each season of the year brings special problems for the Rangers.
And fortunately the problems are the same each year with each season. This is the restless time of the year for man and beast. The end of winter is in sight. And the promise of spring gives birth to what we call spring fever.
A few mild days here and there only serve to stimulate the surge of spring fever in our blood. But the few mild days here and there cause other things to stir and surge as well.
This spells headache for the rangers. I think we're going to make it up the grade this time, Charlie. I sure, Herman. That double diesel can pull a mountain of freight cars. He always called this great over Shady River.
You should know that. Charlie, I haven't had this run for three years. You kind of forget after that long. Yeah, I forgot about that. Charlie, he isn't going to make it. I sure, Herman. Them missiles were pulling her heavy.
Old M.A.M.A.N. flunked this run yet. We're stopping. I told you we can't make it. Well, you'd better get down to the track and protect the rear. Watch your step. We're on the trestle. I'm going.
Call him on the intercom and ask him what's up. Lim, what's the big idea? You run out of gas? This is no place to stop. Charlie, is a caboose on the trestle? I can't tell because of that curve.
