Horizontal curves have cant, also called superelevation. Cant creates banked turns and neutralizes lateral stress on the tracks. This provides a smooth ride and allows trains to pass through curves at higher speeds. If the degree of cant is improper, trains can derail. [br][/br] Superelevation increases lateral stress.
