I grew up one block from the Missouri Pacific mainline and it began to curve just west of our location and the track was superelevated on the curve! That was in the 1950s. Can you imagine the track speeds of the "glory days" streamliners without superelevated track? We would have seen either a lot of passenger equipment on the ground, or REALLY SLOW passenger trains. No, I can't "imagine" it was much before the 1970s, but I can REMEMBER that it was. Enjoy the hobby.
