The Route 66 ghost town that was used in a Hollywood film but now lies abandoned

Route 66 is famous in American culture. The historic road, one of the original highways in the US, ran from Chicago to California, passing through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona along the way. While it is no longer a straight, unbroken highway, it remains a popular road trip destination, with travellers exploring the sights along the way.
