Why Rails in Track Have Different Height - Superelevation (Cant)

Do you know thy trains lean in curves? In this video you will learn what is behind this concept and how it works. Superelevation, also called cant, is actually elevation of track outer rail in curves and transition curves, so that trains can travel in curves safe and with comfort.
Superelevation is great concept, but there are many details around it. It is very interesting to design tracks in curves. One of the reasons why trains can run with higher speeds in curves is due to superelevation concept. But do you know that sometimes it can happen that train derail if the speed is too low in curve? I admit, this is extremely rare, but I know few incidents with freight trains.
