This is a perfect example of historical innovations that have absolutely no purpose in the present day. Here, HCRY 3012 E leans into a massively superelevated curve west of Bruce Mines. Now that (at the time of photo, unsure of current conditions) the track is operated at a max speed of 10mph through this stretch, this banked curve serves about as much purpose as a freezer in Alert, Nunavut. Hopefully with line upgrades still underway, there will be once again method to the madness on the Webbwood sub.
