Re: Railroad Curve
Generally the track is calculated as spiral tapers according the UPRR taper tables and track maps. The railroad right-of-ways are circular curves with that curve data available from the taper tables. I took me 20 years to figure this out. The attached PDF shows the calcs for both. The green lines are the tapers and the red lines are the R/W lines.
