The section of US 60 from New Mexico to Amarillo was originally a portion of the [[Ozark Trail (auto trail)|Ozark Trail]] and paralleled the [[Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway]], part of the [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway]]. When Texas began numbering its highway system, the Ozark Trail received the number [[Texas State Highway 13|State Highway 13]]. By 1920, the entire US 60 route had been renumbered as [[Texas State Highway 33|State Highway 33]], or its spur SH 33A, with the northeastern portion also following the AT&SF Railway. By the mid-1920s, the entire route had become an extension of the Abo Pass Highway, and was SH 33 along the entire length. In 1928, the [[AASHO]] added the highway to the [[U.S. Highway System]] as '''U.S. Highway 164''', with the Texas section being signed in 1929.<ref>{{TxDOT|US|164|access-date=June 24, 2017}}</ref> It was renumbered as US 60 on June 8, 1931, when the route was extended to [[Los Angeles, California]], to make it a coast-to-coast highway.<ref name="FHWA">{{Cite web |url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/us666.cfm |title=U.S. Route 666: "Beast of a Highway"? |last=Weingroff |first=Richard |date=June 18, 2003 |publisher=Federal Highway Administration |access-date=August 3, 2019}}</ref>
