10 Forgotten Scrapers That Built America's Highways
America's Interstate Highway System didn't build itself. Behind nearly every mile of road were giant motor scrapers that hauled millions of tons of earth, reshaped mountains, filled valleys, and transformed the nation forever. In this documentary, we explore 10 forgotten scrapers that built America—from the legendary R.G. LeTourneau Tournapull and Caterpillar DW21 to the Caterpillar 657, Euclid TS-24, Wabco C-500, Allis-Chalmers TS-360, John Deere 760, International Harvester PayScraper, Caterpillar 619, and the dependable Euclid TS-14. Discover the incredible engineering behind twin-engine scrapers, push-pull systems, cable controls, hydraulic innovations, elevating scrapers, and the machines that helped construct thousands of miles of the U.S. Interstate Highway System after the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. While many of these manufacturers disappeared through bankruptcy, mergers, or acquisitions, their machines left a permanent mark on America's infrastructure.
