Requiem for Route 66

Requiem for Route 66
A 1932 Studebaker commemorates the trace where historic Route 66 once passed through the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. Old telephone poles mark the location of the former highway while trucks in the distance speed past on Route 66's replacement, Interstate 40.

Thanks John. To see this, you have to drive through the Park on Petrified Forest Rd as 66 is closed here.
