 at one time there was a tunnel near Paradise that was on a very sharp curve,
 and because of the curves, the line was re-aligned around the outside of the

 before the line was moved to go around the mountain, hence a deep cut on a
 sharp curve. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a date for when this
 re-alignment occured, or any evidence that the Paradise Tunnel was ever
 opened up. >>

You are correct on all accounts here.  But without doing a lot of research I 
can't tell you the year they built around Paradise.  If you walk in, you can 
still find the cut.
