... no matter how many locations these places have in Kingston and Dallas, that cannot possibly override more relevant results
You do get the relevant results within the first five hits if you group: {"Kingston and Dallas" turnpike} instead of {Kingston and Dallas turnpike}. I suspect NE2's initial search produced the results it did because Google has added Google Maps' intersection-parsing logic to the main search.

Actually one would need to do "Kingston and|& Dallas Turnpike" because turnpike (and railroad) names can be written either way. (Though this one seems to be all 'and'.)

Thanks for this tip--I wouldn't have tried this since I distrust Google's parsing of pipe syntax within double quotes, but I tried it just now and it seems it produces actual results instead of complaining that there is nothing out there containing the string "&|and".
