What happens
Ranger Bill and his companions Henry and Stumpy ride through the mountains near an old railway bridge over the Shady River. Henry becomes curious about the bridge and walks out onto it, but the structure gives way and he disappears into the river. Bill and Stumpy set out to search for him, while a passenger train is forced to take the old route across the same unused bridge, with the rangers unsure whether it can hold. The episode is from the Ranger Bill series, first aired on July 20, 1960.
The mountains near the old railway bridge over the Shady River, near Tower 8, with a railway line and nearby forest trails.
Characters: Ranger Bill, Henry, Stumpy, Gray Wolf
Listen for: Henry's walk out onto the old railway bridge, the sound of the bridge collapsing, and the rangers' search along the river and tracks.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
