Funny thing is, someone just came out with a book called, "I-95". I didn't buy it, but the author was on the radio complaining about how boring most of the ride on 95 is. I wonder if he saw the locomotive, and put a photo in his book?Anyway, I'm at mile marker 160 in South Carolina, and have not seen it yet. I'll be looking for it today, and should update tonight if possible. |

I was just thinking that on my last drive from Florida this past winter! it's so convenient to use the mile markers as the exit. It's even used on I4 in Florida where exits are closer together. My firtst thought was that our exists are too close, but there are somem close exits elsewhere too. I4 wasn't always in that system, they even have "former exit 33" on the top of the signs, I guess for some years untill people get used to the mile marker exit numbers.It's especially convenient on I95 where you drive state to state, as you know exactly how many miles you get to the next state. It sort of breaks the ride up. |

I went onto Google maps, and they actually have a STREET VIEW of I 95 in South Carolina, but you have to have a general idea of where this has to be, or the mile marker to find it, as I am not "driving" down I95 in street view all day! Haha! |

While we're on the topic of highways, why can't New York City use the mile marker/exit number system that everyone else uses?It isn't just New York City; sequential exit numbering is predominant in the whole fried-chicken-and-broken-glass liberal northeast. Fear not; numbering based on mile marker is slated to become mandatory by 2019. |

I believe the exits on I-278 are already numbered that way, starting in Linden, NJ. I used to wonder why the BQE had "Exit 34" or similar numbers. Then, the powers that be put numbers on the exits on the Staten Island Expressway, and I note that Lily Pond Avenue is #15, and the first exit in Brooklyn is #17.Looks to me that the zero mark is in Linden, like I said. |

Wow, that is really far far off, I wonder why so long.How do they do exits that are close together within a mile, which is quite common in the NY metro area (as well as many urban/suburban areas), Exit 45A, 45B, 45C? |

It's just north of exit 122 on I-95 in South Carolina, northbound lanes. It's on a small farm, near some abandoned fire trucks, just before an overpass. Looks like the owner had thoughts of getting into the billboard business, using trains and firetrucks to attract eyeballs, because there's some old writing on the diesel. |

Wow, that is really far far off, I wonder why so long.The proposed 2009 changes to the FHWA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices include elimiting consecutive exit numbering as an option and will require mile-marker numbering. There is a ten year phase-in compliance period to allow state and local agencies to secure funding for sign replacement. |

The worst is the Taconic Pkway which doesn't have any exit numbers. I use it often between the Sprain and Albany and generally use landmarks that I know of and my odometer to know where I am. |

Maybe so, but you obviously haven't driven on I-95 through Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Boring probably isn't even enough of a word for it!Luch, do you stay on I-95 through Virginia, or do you go onto I295 where it breaks off from 95? They meet again some miles later, but you cut off Richmond which seems to be a good thing, I like the bypass way instead of just going through on 95 straight through, it seems to be faster to me. |

It's going to be like having to translating a foreign language when they do that on the LI Expressway.As it is now, when I take the Northern State, I learned that the Northern State exits are 9 off from the LIE, so I usually "translate" where I am by translating them into "LIE Exits", lol, to know how far I am. |

The color scheme threw me off b/c I drove by so fast. The circle under the engineers cab window reminded me of the circle M logo on all the old LIRR trains. |

Usually, going n/b, I take I295 to get a WaWa coffee, gas, and avoid Richmond's PM rush hour. Going southbound, I'm usually not in Richmond during rush hour, so I drive through the city. |

Might not be LIRR....the faded scheme indicates that the original color might have been a blue of a darker hue or a greyish scheme. Probably belongd to a local, small-scale freight service. |
