When we went by in 2017 this former Dixie Service Station was sign as
Sunset Tractor & Equipment. There wasn't much sign of activity though.
A The Dixie Service Station operated at this location from 1938 to at
least 1954. A station at this location was advertised for sale in 1937
and in early 1938 the station was known as the Patswald Service Station.
There's
a small ditch next to the station that had a Sunset Tractor Supply name
attached. Seemed cool to me.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
