How Trains take turns, though there is no any differential

Answer Posted / ramu murugan

Train wheels have a profile such a way that diameter of the
wheel increases towards one side, while in the other wheel
the diameter decreases. Thus when a train negociates a
turn, it moves towards any one side depending upon the
direction of turn. As the train wheels moves towards any
one side, the wheels in contact have different wheel
diameters. This makes one wheel to travel more distance
than the other during a turn.
