I'm pretty sure that an FM is a road that was called that because it went from a non-urban ("country") area to another urban ("city") area. 2222 goes from out where there used to be NOTHING 25 yrs ago to a fairly highly populated area at Mopac and 2222. As for a RR, Im not quite certain, but I have lived in the area almost 20 yrs and most of the land back then where 620 is now was owned by one or more HUGE ranch owners. Meaning I think 620 was originally strictly a road to go from either one ranch to another or maybe even just go from one side of a massive ranch to the other side. That would be my guess.
