June 28, 1984: Albuquerque — A proposal to contribute $10,000 for a state study to develop passenger train service between Albuquerque and Santa Fe has been unanimously approved by the Albuquerque City Council's Finance Committee. Members of the Finance Committee said Monday the service would boost tourism and would make daily commuter transportation more efficient. The proposal is a modification of Gov. Toney Anaya's earlier proposal to develop a high speed train from Santa Fe to Las Cruces.
