In 2012 I'd rather say the proper way for a simple iteration (i.e. 
without removing elements or such) is

for (final Route r : objList) {
   // camel case and accessor added:
   System.out.println(r.getLocationId());
}

Assuming objList is assignment compatible to Iterable<Route>.  We 
haven't seen the declaration in the original posting though so we can 
only speculate.

I do have to agree that the original question was quite a bit dark.

Cheers
