Old Amarillo Highway Railroad TrestleIn 1891 the first formal "roads" to Lubbock were to the cardinal compass points - north, south, east and west. By the 1920s there were roads in seven directions, enough to make Lubbock a "hub." The state paving campaign in 1928 included Number 9 (Plainview to Tahoka).
Today, just south of New Deal, a railroad trestle spans the last stretch of 100-year concrete known as the Old Amarillo Highway -- described by songwriter Terry Allen as "hard-assed."
