[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by twhite</i> <br /><br />As far as the Texas portion of route 66, the Santa Fe (Panhandle and Santa Fe) paralleled the highway around Amarillo, but only for a few miles (it veered off and paralleled route 60 into Oklahoma). Of the Santa Fe streamliners, only the San Francisco Chief ran through Amarillo on the cutoff--the rest of the Santa Fe transcons veered north at Albequerque and ran over Raton Pass. Most of old route 66 in Texas paralleled the Rock Island secondary line from Tucumcari, New Mexico. The Santa Fe paralleled Route 66 for a long way, but mostly in Arizona and New Mexico. <br />Tom <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks for the info Tom, that helps a good deal. <br /> <br />Peace <br /> <br />Coyote
