For this reason, the outer rail is made higher to balance the centrifugal force, and this amount is called cant. If the cant is too large, the train may roll over to the inside of the curve, so the amount of cant is determined according to the radius of the curve and the speed of the train. … *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "cant" are listed below.
