  • Hop on Board the Northern Pacific Railroad, take a ride on an ox cart or cruise down the Missouri River for a whirlwind tour of North Dakota's transportation history. Produced by Prairie Public Television and the North Dakota Department of Transportation, Rivers, Roads, Rails and Air shows how North Dakota's transportation has changed throughout history and how North Dakota's history has been tied to those changes. Rivers, Roads, Rails and Air uses archival photos and film and interviews with historians, longtime North Dakota residents and transportation experts to detail transportation in North Dakota, from its early beginnings to the present.
    This Prairie Public Classic documentary was first aired in 1996.

    I worked in North Dakota for a number of years in the 70s. I drove thousands of miles on gravel. I have to say, a lot of those gravel roads were in better shape (depending on the county) than many a paved road south. Even in the winter. And if by bad fortune you got your front end into a drift on the side of the road, it wouldn't be an eternity before someone would come along and pulled you out. It's just how things were done there. Nodaks are good folk.

    The most Beautiful thing we like about North Dakota... The People, they wave with all five fingers and are willing to spend a few minutes talking to those of us visiting. If others would just slow down and visit, they might see the same beauty, We're praying we can visit once more in 2022.

    It was exciting to see the photo of the Dazey Depot! I was hoping the producers would have shown the High Line Bridge. ---The rural road used to get out to the Farmstead was finally paved sometime in the 70's. My hubby (from NM) used to tease about "stage coach trails"! Ha, there were plenty of those in NM also!

    The Jackalope is more common in South Dakota.
    There was oil drilling in North Dakota in the 1980’s. They knew that the oil was there but didn’t know how to extract it then.

    I hear not much has changed. They say the biggest attraction is a mall in Fargo. I can't find much else on the state..
