This abandoned service station and cafe is located at Route 66 and 15th
Street, on the west end of town. This was a pretty big station and cafe
in it's day. But as one of many along Route 66 in Vega it most likely
just didn't make it after the freeway came along and diverted the traffic.

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.
