The Santa Fe trail went from Colombia, Missouri (roughly) to Santa Fe, New Mexico(hence the name). So I'm not quite sure why they are referring to the Santa Fe trail west of Santa Fe.

But, yes some of what they may have travelled between Raton Pass and Santa Fe possibly could've become what we know as route 66.

Also pre-1937 route 66 went through Santa Fe post-1937 it bypassed it altogether. Route 66 was first opened on November 11, 1926.
