They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If so then these little moving pictures should explain things better than I ever could about how trains go around curves.
This is part of my #Rail101 series that explain some of the basics of our railway to broaden peoples knowledge and to make it more accessible to newcomers to our industry.
Follow the #Rail101 tag for more bite-size chunks of railway knowledge. Share this to those in your network who might be interested.
Follow me for more rail related content. Let me know what articles you'd like to see below and check out my little index of articles written so far.
If you need no nonsense rail advice then drop me a line and I'll try to help.
