No picture, but a comment on some pictures on the previous page:

Here's the most obscure branch of US-40: in Nevada and Oregon, they attempted to sign the last branch, from Winnemucca to Denio Junction, across Adel Pass, to Lakeview and Klamath Falls, as US-140.  Not a bad idea, since the road does cover a good distance and exist in two states, but Maryland had the number.  So nowadays the route, from where it branches off US-95 north of Winnemucca, all the way to its west end, is state route 140, in Nevada and Oregon.

I've never heard this before. I have heard that what is SR 140 in both states was supposed to be part of an effort called the "Winnemucca to the Sea Highway", and was supposed to terminate on the ocean.  On the Nevada side, much of SR 140 was previously part of the northernmost segment of SR 8A, with a paved alignment between Nevada and Adel coming sometime in the 60's.  According to NDOT historic maps, Oregon added the SR 140 designation and Nevada changed the number sometime in 1967 (it was the only three-digit state route until highways were renumbered in 1976).  To my knowledge, NDOT has never marked this as US 140.

yes, Winnemucca to the Sea was supposed to be a branch of US-40 ...

didn't know it was the *only* three-digit state number before the renumbering!  Nevada is good about continuing state highways coming in from other states with the same number.  28 and 88 are the two officially surviving two-digit state routes, and they are continuations of CA routes.  (There's a few 34 signs up near Gerlach, and one remaining 8A shield out in the middle of nowhere.)  Dunno why they didn't leave 51, since it is continuous with Idaho 51... but they renumbered it to 225.  225A is, interestingly, shown as 11 on Google Maps, so I wonder if any 11 shields survive!

in any case, here's another 441 shield.

Move the 2 to the other side and you get 412

I-95 connects with I-476 southwest of Philadelphia, PA.

Here's a pic from the north end of I-476
