Old Rumor Revived on Short Coast Route to Pacific
Railroad speculation claims a new line from El Paso Texas northeastward through Negos Salado and across the New Mexico Texas border toward Liberal Kansas with a Southern Pacific interest and potential ties to the Rock Island. Proponents say the route would shorten travel to Los Angeles and Mexico, boosting trade with the Philippines and Pacific ports.
