Caption: Historic Route 66
Additional Description: For many years, Tucumcari has been a popular stop for cross-country travelers on Interstate 40 (former U.S. Route 66). It is the largest city on the highway between Amarillo, Texas and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Billboards reading "TUCUMCARI TONITE!" placed along I-40 for many miles to the east and west of the town invite motorists to stay the night in one of Tucumcari's "2000" (later changed to "1200") motel rooms.
