State(s) Route 92

[TR69]

I thought about putting this on a regional board, but it covers three regions so I decided to start the thread here instead.

Since I was a kid growing up in Illinois I've been interested in Route 92. Not U.S. 92 in Florida (though that's an interesting route too), but rather State Route 92 that begins in Wyoming and ends in...Illinois.

WY 92 begins inauspiciously outside Torrington and heads southeast, entering Nebraska near Lyman. NE 92 crosses the entire state, entering Iowa at Council Bluffs. IA 92 crosses the entire state, exiting at Muscatine and crossing the Mississippi River into Illinois. IL 92 ends inauspiciously on the edge of La Moille.

Does anybody know anything about this route? Is there any other "state" route that keeps its number across four states? At 886 miles long (according to Wikipedia), this state route 92 is (much) longer than US 92! I'd love to drive it end-to-end some day.

Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota have a Route 200.
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont have a Route 12.

There was the example of 789 that went through Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona but all that remains is the Wyoming section.  121 goes through Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Talk about a difference in the size of the states!

I've long wanted to drive the entire thing as well - I've got all of it in Wyoming and most of it in Nebraska. Maybe one day.

Thanks! I had searched "92" and "Route 92" but didn't hit on this thread. Didn't search just the right terms, I guess.

Following MT 200 via GSV, found this...oops...

Something interesting about 92 is that it seemed to come almost all at once. IA-2 became IA-92 in 1939 (according to iowahighways.org), which was the same year that Illinois extended their highway 92 west from the Quad Cities to Muscatine (thanks to the website by forum user Rich Carlson, aka N9JIG). Looking at old maps of Nebraska (http://www.roads.nebraska.gov/travel/map-library/), it seems that N-92 started to pop up around that time as well.
