Disputed location

According to the official web site linked here, the Midland Trail consists of all of US 60 in West Virginia - from the Ohio River to White Sulphur Springs. As such it probably doesn’t need a separate article from that of US 60. GeorgeofOrange (talk) 02:46, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've heard the name "Midland Trail" being applied to Route 60 in Huntington and Milton, but not sure how often I've seen signage for it. I've also heard that it didn't always follow the current course of Route 60. Not sure how that's documented, but obviously the highway would have been designed to straighten out a lot of curves and avoid detours. I also know that in some areas it actually follows or overlaps the James River and Kanawha Turnpike, although I'm not sure how often (for instance, between Huntington and Barboursville, the James River and Kanawha Turnpike runs from 20th Street along Norway Avenue and Pea Ridge Road, crossing Route 60 twice; there's a parallel stretch between Culloden and Milton, and I think it might overlap Route 60 from Culloden eastward; not sure where it runs between Milton and Barboursville). How are national scenic byways normally covered in other instances? Are they often merged with the highways they follow, or is this an unusual case?

Official signs and websites from both the state government and local governments consider the modern Midland Trail to completely follow US 60 in WV. The modern trail is a name applied to 60 and these pages should be merged. Jefemaximowiki (talk) 16:31, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
