Route 66, which connects Chicago and Los Angeles, is one of the most legendary highways in the world. The “Main Street of America” or “The Mother Road” is a dream for many travel lovers. It was created in 1926. The Mother Road runs through these states: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. In total you will travel 3,000 miles.

The original route had these stops: Chicago (Illinois), St Louis (Missouri), Tulsa and Oklahoma City (Oklahoma), Amarillo (Texas), Tucumcari and Albuquerque (New Mexico), Holbrook and Flagstaff (Arizona), Barstow and Los Angeles (California).

WHAT DID ROUTE 66 MEAN?

It meant an opportunity to start a new life. Both for the migrants, those who traveled from east to west looking for a new beginning, and for those who stayed on the route... Gas stations, motels, restaurants, and all kinds of stores began to emerge like mushrooms: they were necessary to being able to provide everything necessary to those who ventured on the trip. Little by little the kilometers were filled with life, not only on the sides of the road but also in the small towns through which the Mother Road passed, which lived their golden age.

This is a then & now of the Kirkwood, Missouri railroad depot. 1941 - 2002.

The history is interesting: "The Missouri Pacific Depot at Kirkwood was constructed in 1893 and designed by Douglas Donovan in Richardsonian Romanesque style. Residents kept it from being “modernized” in 1941. It still serves Amtrak trains today.
