Correct. Moreover, it was a southern route. I'd have to dig up my route map
but I think it went more south than west initially. However remember:
"Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe" is the road name... I believe all three of
those towns (two in KS, 1 in NM) were on the original transcontintental
line. I could be wrong. But think IL, MO, KS, OK, TX, NM, AZ, NV, CA ish
sort of routing. If this is hot I will dig it up for y'all...
Contrast with UP, the first "transcon" (1) which was a NE, WY, UT sort of
routing, coming into SF first instead of LA. (the golden spike was at
Promontory Point UTAH)
1 - misnamed... merely meant from the already well railroaded east out to
the Pacific rather than a true continent spanner line. We still don't have
one of those in the US, although the failed BNSF/CN merger almost sort of
got us one...
