The Old Red Trail

From mud to superhighway, Prairie Public's local production The Old Red Trail is an historical retrospective of the road we now know as Interstate 94.
It has been called many things. The Red Trail, the Red Line Trail, the National Parks Highway, North Dakota Highway 3, U.S. Highway 10, the Theodore Roosevelt Badlands Trail, Interstate 94 - a succession of names across almost a century, all describing an automobile transportation route extending well beyond the boundaries of North Dakota.
From east to west it stretches over the state's southern half, through the Red River Valley, up escarpments, across plains formed by glaciers, over the nation's longest river, across rolling plains through the rugged Badlands.
From its humble beginnings as a dirt trail to today's incarnation as Interstate Highway 94, it forms the major east/west route for auto travel across the state.

I've lived in Fargo, Bismarck, Mandan and Dickinson. It's great to learn the history of this route. I saw a lot of familiar places in this video.

I love the way they gave directions. I'm a descendent of Black Sea Germans. They settled north Dakota 1908. No more farming in our family. They followed directions so well because in the old country most had traveled through several countries once leaving the Holy Roman Empire. So proud of my ancestors.

I grew up in Calgary AB, but moved to CT in 88 where I lived for 16 years. I drove this route 4 times. Rt 94 was a a bit boring but necessary, then I’d jump up to highway 2 across northern MT.

at 11:01 narrator says US Hwy 10 began at Ludington, MI is false. US Hwy 10 actually began in downtown Detroit running along the famed Woodward Avenue which was part of the historic Dixie Hwy. US Hwy 10 was truncated north to its current eastern terminus of Bay City, MI in 1986.
