Faith and Machinery Move Hills in Mills County
Faith and high powered machinery transform a field near federal highway 24 and the Wabash railway in Mills County. The Perry and Conan Construction Co uses tractors and huge dump carts to build a grade over the tracks while McCormick Construction completes the bridge floor and rails. Open to traffic in a little over three weeks, the project cuts labor costs and shifts mule-driven work to machinery, reshaping local labor and consumption dynamics.
