About
Roads, rails, and the places they left behind. Old Alignment is about the routes that built the United States — and the towns left behind when the traffic moved somewhere else. Every video follows one line on the map from end to end: a highway, a rail corridor, a border, a road that stops for no obvious reason. Where it came from, what it fed, who it made rich, and what happened when the country found a faster way. Geography, infrastructure, and industrial history across America.
