Gravity Hill is less than 1.42%. Passing MP 289, you have to ease off a bit all the way up to the top of the mesa at 290. You get an optical illusion because the top of the mesa - which forms the horizon here - sloping the opposite was at about the same grade.

The very first time I fired out of Antonito, we came shuffling up to that spot, and it looked to me that the grade ahead was going to get real steep. So, I loaded up the firebox with coal, only the have 487 pop off halfway up the side of the Mesa.
