If you're looking for current roadnames, the ones I know have all been mentioned. If you're looking for old names, here's a couple more:

Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern
Iowa Interstate
Gulf Mobile & Ohio
Illinois Central Gulf

Tom (that's my name, not another road name!)

Hi all,

I'm working on compiling a list of all the roadnames in North America. I've come up so far with the list below, but I'm sure I miss a lot of roadnames and I'd like to ask your help to complete my list.

Thanks in advance.
