Dick Wooton Ranch. On August 5, 2016, AMTK 145 (P42DC) and AMTK 822 (P40DC) lead an Amtrak Inspection train through across the route of the Southwest Chief for Amtrak executives to meet with and thank local, state, and federal officials for their successful efforts to fund the route of the Chief. The sign for "Dick Wooton Ranch and Old Santa Fe Trail" can be easily seen from a passing train, honoring the memory of "Uncle Dick" Wooton, who moved to Colorado from Virginia to live on the frontier. He hired a tribe of Utes to build a road that he later sold to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, and the area still bears his name.
