Monteagle & the Dixie Highway – America’s Most Feared Road

Monteagle Mountain in Tennessee has been called many things—the “killer grade,” “Deadman’s Ride,” and the last great obstacle of the Dixie Highway. For stagecoaches it was nearly impossible. For early motorists, it was a gamble. And for truckers on U.S. 41, it became a white-knuckle descent feared across America. From Prohibition legends and Al Capone’s hideout to runaway semis and Smokey and the Bandit fame, Monteagle’s story is part danger, part folklore, and all highway history. In this episode of Beyond the Exit, we trace Monteagle’s journey from stagecoach barrier to Dixie Highway bottleneck, through the trucking era, pop-culture fame, and the engineering triumph that reshaped it into modern I-24. 👉 If you enjoy stories of America’s highways, history, and hidden legends, don’t forget to subscribe and join us for more road stories beyond the exit. ⚠️ Disclaimer This video may include references, visuals, or AI-generated enhancements.
