From the Pueblo Chieftain newspaper:
After hearing remarks that called the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad "the engine" that drives the economy of small San Luis Valley towns, the Colorado House Capital Development Committee on Tuesday devoted $1 million in federal stimulus funds to rail improvements on the historic line.
New Mexico will match that sum to fund long-awaited improvements to the track. Money from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act account for Colorado’s share of the funding.
