The rider will receive a "Three Millionth Passenger" certificate and a pass to ride the train free for a year, as well as a basket of Rail Runner souvenirs.
Sandia Ski Area Extends Season
Sandia Peak Ski Area has decided to extend its season through March 28 after a snowstorm moved through parts of New Mexico.
The ski area east of Albuquerque announced Saturday it will open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through March 28 for the 2009-10 season's final week.
Ski officials say all of Sandia's facilities will be open, from the cafeteria to the rental shop.

The order goes into effect April 6 and is valid for 90 days. It lets the Fire Department offer ambulance service to residences from the Tijeras city limits east to Torrance County.
