According to the valuation map the elevation difference between Sapinero and Cimarron is 350 vertical feet and about 15 miles distance between the two. Doing the math that means that the RR grade is less than %0.5 between the two stations, not hardly much at all.

The river may have dropped but the RR certainly didn't according to its own valuation maps. I wonder where these falls are?
