Title: Film showing the construction of US 24 East of Carrollton, MO, circa 1931.

Here is a silent film showing the construction of US 24, East of Carrollton, MO, circa 1931.

This appears to be, what is now, the stretch of Old US 24 West of the ethanol plants including the part that runs along the Southside of the railroad tracks.
