Rushing the Hill Range Anew in Western Railway Feats
From the Deck of the Flyer Hill's Mex detail spans the Brentwood to Midway work on the boundary railway. Contractors and subs push grading as 1200 men and hundreds of shovels advance through steep valleys, tunnels, and a 170 mile stretch from Moyes to Okan, with Norse-like cold and camps at Moyes and Osoyoos. Clifton and Stewarts lead the contractor list with Burns & Jordan and Johnson & Welch among the sub firms, as crews face delays and weather while restoring a critical link between Keremeos and Oroville.
