Transportation in North Dakota is overseen by the [[North Dakota Department of Transportation]]. The major [[Interstate Highway System|Interstate highways]] are [[Interstate 29]] and [[Interstate 94]], with I-29 and I-94 meeting at [[Fargo, North Dakota|Fargo]], with I-29 oriented north to south along the eastern edge of the state, and I-94 bisecting the state from east to west between Minnesota and Montana. A unique feature of the North Dakota Interstate Highway system is virtually all of it is paved in concrete, not [[Asphalt concrete|blacktop]], because of the extreme weather conditions it must endure. [[BNSF]] and the [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] operate the state's largest rail systems. Many branch lines formerly used by BNSF and Canadian Pacific Railway are now operated by the [[Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad]] and the [[Red River Valley and Western Railroad]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dmvwrr.com/ |title=Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad |publisher=Dakota, Missouri Valley and Western Railroad |access-date=October 5, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071004083301/http://dmvwrr.com/ |archive-date=October 4, 2007 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.rrvw.net/about/about.htm |title= About Us |publisher= Red River Valley and Western Railroad |access-date= October 5, 2007 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20071013151429/http://rrvw.net/about/about.htm |archive-date= October 13, 2007 |df= mdy-all }}</ref>
