Can trains turn this sharp?

[Pastrey Crust]

So I'm going to a friend's house. He lives close to a subway station. I looked at the map to see the fastest combination and I saw this.



According to the legend/scale, this 90°-90° turn is done in 50m²

Can trains actually turn that sharp? Wouldn't it derail?

no ya big goober. the track VEERS until it's facing whatever direction. the map is just a quick representation

Thanks for enlightening this dilema for me. You're such a hero.

I have a feeling Pie Crust knows this.

I have a feeling Pie Crust knows this and he just likes creating topics like these for no reason.

and I have a feeling you should stop

I just took it and it indeed is a very sharpass turn. Engineers, explain why.

[Lord Tony®]

Sharpass turn would be 90 degrees.

what I'm guessing is that the train is made of like, 300 very short carriages or something to make a very sharpass turn

which btw is not 90, that's sounds impossible

[Pastrey Crust]

It didn't feel like a 90° that you'd feel on a bus. It felt more like 45° but without slowing down. Shouldn't it have derailed? It was going pretty fast.

And the carts are shorter than those of the other lines but still of considerable length.

[Lord Tony®]

It's common knowledgr why it didn't derail. Trains also have rotating wheels now that aren't fixed like trains from the 1900s.

I was looking at this and saw the minimum angle being 48 degrees

then I realised we can't answer this without op giving us photos
