What happens

The two men clash over freight deliveries near Naughty Pine, first at a blocked grade crossing and then on a dangerous mountain route where Grant pushes his drivers through snow and ice. Bill intervenes on the road, then speaks with Grant in his office about a way out of the feud. This episode of Ranger Bill first aired on November 19, 1955.

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.
