Or a 25-car train would have it's engine & caboose in New Mexico and the rest in Colorado between m.p. 289 and m.p. 290 at the top of Gravity Hill.  Ten of the eleven crossings are east of Osier, three of them between 289.5 and 299.8 and the next four between 295.0 and 299.2.

Does anyone have a figure for the total degrees of curvature between Antonito and Chama?  I'll bet it's SEVERAL full circles' worth . . .
