On April 22, 1880, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway reaches
Albuquerque, which eventually becomes the hub of operations in the
state. That decision means economic
jeopardy for Santa Fe, bypassed because of the cost of bringing tracks
into town. (Palace of the Governors Photo Archives, Photograph by Ben
Wittick, "Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Engine #137 'Baby' at
Glorieta Summit, New Mexico, October 1880)
