well........ did you try to ping them ?? or maybe telnet to them??

Perhaps those routes are "internal" to US West.

The routes themselves are probably not being "advertised" on the internet.
I just tried to ping them from two very physically different connected
sources - with no response.

Of course, my two ISPs may well be blocking them. (as they should be)

Traceroute just told you how it got there, not necessarily that those
addresses are available to the world.
