Talk:U.S. Route 211

Turnpikes used by current and former US 211
--NE2 21:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * New Market and Sperryville Turnpike, Brock's Gap? (west of New Market) to Sperryville?
 * Thornton's Gap Turnpike, Thornton's Gap via Culpeper to Kelly's Ford (Rappahannock River south of US 15)
 * Fauquier and Alexandria Turnpike, Warrenton to Fairfax

Picture is incorrect
The picture of the beginning of US 211 is incorrect. The pictured intersection is with Van Roijen Street. From the pictured intersection, if you turn 180 degrees, US 211 continues another 1.72 miles northeast until it ends at the Blackwell Road intersection.

History Section
What happened to the "History" section of the article? U.S. 211 used to exist in the District of Columbia. I had added a history section, and now it is gone.

Thank you for reverting this decision.

Obviously the "Thank you ..." is sarcastic. Apparently the History item referred to was this:

US 211 continued east along U.S. Route 29 from Warrenton to a terminus in the District of Columbia until July 1980.

Where in DC was the terminus? I do recall seeing "U.S. 29/211" information up to the DC/VA border, and presumably the US 211 signs were taken down east of Warrenton because from then on US 211 was the same road as US 29. Please explain why that history was removed from here on Wikipedia.
