Rob has seen some crazy stuff from the road, and one of his experiences includes encountering a UFO while fueling locomotives!

3) Episode 5: Wild Stories from the City Transit

On Episode 5: Wild Stories From the City Transit, Pam shares some wild experiences she and her husband have had over the years as employees of the city transit system! What have they seen?

Welcome to the pilot episode of Hammer Lane Legends!

In Episode 2: Hauling Fuel in Enemy Territory, Tony and Brian are joined by Sam, who served as a civilian driver for our military in Iraq. He volunteered to put himself in harm’s way to make sure our troops had what they needed, and his willingness to serve our military left him with stories he'll be telling for years. From driving over landmines, to driving under overpasses rigged to explode, to being shot at by snipers, Sam joins Hammer Lane Legends to share his dramatic stories of hauling fuel in enemy territory!
