IMAGES of ROUTE 66  

Taken by Jacky & Mike Smith in 2001

The State of Kansas  

 

Galena

Old coal mining town - now almost dead

Main street Galena - very quiet even at midday, mid-week.

There were a few shops still trading, like this car parts store, but the town had a dying feel.

Fading advertisement mural along the main street.

Rainbow Arch Bridge at Riverton, a few miles from Galena.

Unusually, this bridge is made from poured reinforced concrete, rather than steel girders.

There were a few in Kansas, but this may be the last.
