Groom is a town in Carson County, Texas, United States. The population was 587 at the 2000 census.
Groom, Texas is another railroad town that dates back to 1902. Its main industry was cattle, wheat and maize. Groom was named after Colonel B.B. Groom who established a prosperous ranch in the area. Route 66 kept the town going, and west bound travelers breathed a sigh of relief upon reaching this outpost along the Mother Road.

Thank you, Jack. I was trying to show the sun coming up as a brand new day compared to the grain elevator being used up.
