I have been fascinated with Arizona State Highway 89T, which used to be a portion of U.S. Highway 89. The road is now abandoned, and probably has been since the 1950s. There is a one-lane bridge that was built in 1911, with wooden curbs.

And don't forget U.S. 50 in virtually all of Nevada.
It's called the "loneliest road in America" for a reason.

Road 209 start out from the town where I live; Norrkoping and ends on a pier in a small coastal village called Arkosund. It's a two lane blacktop for circa 39 kilometers and then narrows a little.
I lived at a place along this road, from summer 1968 through august 1987, that sits just a stones throw from it and basically a few yards from the old road. Those older bits I really liked because they were used as rest areas and that meant there were trash to be searched.
I don't know exactly when the new road was built, only that it was in the late 1960ies. I'm also unsure if it had a black top before that but probably it hadn't.
The road is in Sweden and is between 52 and 53 kilometers in length.
The red letters should have small dots above them.

That sounds very interesting.

On Interstates 10 and 20 in Texas, the speed limit is 80mph. On I-10, it's between Kerrville and the eastern suburbs of El Paso. On I-20, it's between Odessa and its intersection with I-10.
Between 1995 and 1999, Montana had no speed limits on its interstates--you just had to be "reasonable and prudent".

Kerrville is a town about 50 miles northwest of San Antonio.

I've once made a complete railway system in Australia, with timetables, maps and operational aspects... it's still going!

Hello,
Once in a while I do that for fun, but for some reason after working on them for over two hours I never save them. Maybe I should

P.S. Mine are usually in the United States, Canada or England.

One of the English Electric Deltic locomotive prototypes was cursed ;p
I shan't say anymore.
I've travelled on the Shinkansen. (few years back)
It's pretty all right. And you hardly feel the speed.
In Shikoku there's a train called "Anpanman-ressha" which is a train based on the children's character "anpanman". So it has Anpanman characters all over the side. Very cute. (Otherwise, just an ordinary train.)
And in Matsuyama (where I lived) apart from trams &c. there is also the tourist train "Botchan-ressha" which is a steamtrain. It goes from the city centre "Shieki" to Dogo where the famous hot springs are.
Don't know why I'm suddenly mentioning all these.
Of course, when they changed the number of the train in question...the string of pretty bad accidents it was involved in mysteriously stopped.
I guess it's a coincidence
