In her fabulous mile by mile guide, Osterwald locates Tanglefoot Curve at MP 329.76. I am not so precise. Tanglefoot is a curve. Tanglefoot is in the yard limit for Cumbres Pass Station. K-36 #484 pulls the train up Tanglefoot Curve to Cumbres Pass station and water stop on 6/16/2012 and 6/23/2012. The ride footage is shot 7/24/2012 with K-36 #488 at the helm. Grades are gentler on the Antonito side of Cumbres Pass. Tanglefoot is a 1.46 % ruling grade. Windy Point, on the Chama side of Cumbres Pass, ruling grade is 4%. Soundtrack is the ride footage.
