Modelers’ Challenge<br />
By Roger Ferris<br />
According to Frank Gerry, <strong>the</strong> (former) driver of this rig was only in Canada for a few months. He missed a turn by Brandon, Manitoba<br />
and figured he would just go over <strong>the</strong> hill and continue on <strong>the</strong> road, not knowing <strong>the</strong>re were rail tracks at <strong>the</strong> top of <strong>the</strong> grade. The<br />
truck owner figures he had to be doing at least 55 MPH to make it to <strong>the</strong> top. Look closely: <strong>the</strong> truck only stopped when <strong>the</strong> large reefer<br />
trailer pinched its rear tires!<br />
