Any idea what that would be in N Scale? 11 inch radius?

There are a few Wyes and other places that probably beat this.

Wow, I bet the rails do a lot of singing.

Yes, I'm sure that the curves on wyes and industrial lines probably beat this. This is supposed to be the second sharpest main line curve on a class 1.

A good place for welded rail and grips instead of spikes. Back in the WM days, I believe it would have been stick rail, which I am sure added to the difficulties of maintaining the curve. This is why the WM never used six axles on the Thomas Subdivision, though Chessie began to use SD-35s on at least a portion of the sub, though maybe not this far south.
