- ah yes "Cowboy" the mad conductor, this is the guy that used to explore
- abandoned right-of-Ways with a 4-wheel drive truck at NIGHT!!.
-
- That is until he went out on a timber trestle and found that half of it was
- gone when the front axle of the truck dropped. Nobody hurt and the
- supports for the snowplow kept the truck from sliding off the trestle.
-
- Took them about 4 hours (in the middle of the night) to jack and winch the
- truck back on the trestle.
-
- to jack the front the had to lie on their stomachs in the cab and reach down
- to work the jack. and the to winch the truck back the had to craw out on to
- the roof of the truck and climb off the back of the truck.
