Apologies in advance to Ed Stabler for my aberation, but when I participated in a 100-mile charity bicycle ride in Santa Fe (not Sahnta-Fay) a few years ago, I heard the locals pronounce Madrid as MAADD-rid, not Mah-DRID ...

Madrid, N.M., south of Sahnta Fe, was a (coal?) mining town once served by a branch of the ATSF.
