Talk:U.S. Route 84 in Texas

Mileage in Texas
The infobox says it's 530 miles, but there's no way that's correct. A quick check on Google shows it's more like 655 miles. I wonder if the 530 figure from TXDOT reflects only mileage that is not overlapped with other routes...? Niobrara (talk) 20:50, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Good catch. I don't know how TXDOT arrives at its mileage figures, but that seems off, because it goes all the way across Texas. Trivia: There was, and maybe still is, the "84 Lumber Company," that got wood from east Texas and transported it to Lubbock along this highway. I haven't driven up there in quite a few years, but their trucks used to be common. I puzzled over the name for a while until I figured out that the company was named after the highway. Edit: I looked and they are indeed still in business. However, their web page says the company was named after Eighty Four, PA, not after the highway. Wastrel Way (talk) Eric
