The curve will actually tilt a train slightly. This will make sure that you have a component of the weight parallel to the ground. It is this component of the weight which will provide the necessary centripetal force for the train to move on a circular path. Otherwise, the required centripetal force will be provided by the contact forces between the wheels and rails which will cause much wear and tear. Hope this helps ! read less
