[edit] Unverified Claims

I have seen this article, but I am wondering where you hear about the Turnpike Extension, and other things that concern this article. Also I wonder if the 2000 Train Derailment That partially knocked down a small section of South Bound 18th Street Expressway over the BNSF rail yard about 2-3 feet is notable to be placed here.

Anyway please cite your sources Including road maps. Almost Anything published can be cited, but please look hard for reliable sources. Sawblade05 06:35, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

References for 18th St being part of the Kansas Turnpike system are available on the Kansas Turnpike article. They should be copied over whenever someone gets the time. —Scott5114 04:09, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
