Deadman's Curve
Every railroad division has what they called a hoodoo or something that brought them bad luck. A hoodoo named Dead Man’s Curve was located a little east of the railroad town of Scholle, New Mexico. As originally built, this curve was in an extremely narrow cut. Sometime in the 1950s the lower side of the cut was leveled and the rock that was removed was used to hold the arroyo from washing out the track.
