Here is a picture from a departed forum member:

To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world
I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought

Fortunately tracks in curves are not too difficult to find in our model world.
More trains on the curve, please.
gmpullman More trains on the curve, please.
I think I posted this not too long ago in the December SMS but its the only shot I have in my archives that meets the request.
The shot was staged because this is on my shortline which is served by a Ten Wheeler and a Doodlebug. Diesels don't normally run on the line.
More trains on curves please.
NVS SD40-2 and heritage unit upgrade rounding Quarry curve.
More trains on curves please

A pessimist sees a dark tunnel
An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel
A realist sees a frieght train
An engineer sees three idiots standing on the tracks stairing blankly in space
NVSRRMore trains on curves please
A pair of brand-new Nickel Plate Alcos lean into a reverse curve here:

Not quite what you'd expect:
P-C-754_F7a by Edmund, on Flickr
P-C_F7_754 by Edmund, on Flickr
Rio Grande was trading in these Fs and when P-C got wind of the action they decided the trade-ins were in better shape than some of the Fs they had.
Anything else Penn Central or predecessor roads?
gmpullman Anything else Penn Central or predecessor roads?
I think this New York Central streamlined steamer qualifies.
Like you, Ed, I have created a world where Pennsy and New York Central co-exist. I don't have quite the variety of roads that you do but the Erie does operate a coal train over my road through trackage rights.
How about anything PC, predecessor, or successor.
John-NYBWHow about anything PC, predecessor, or successor.
How about all three, all rolled in to one?

The faded Pennsylvania showing through with the C-R emblem plastered over the scratched-out P-C.
More Consolidated Rail and predecessors, please.
John-NYBWLike you, Ed, I have created a world where Pennsy and New York Central co-exist.
There were several areas where they coexisted and I share your interest in running both. Cleveland was one of these areas with PRR trains even having trackage rights over the NYC and vice-versa. Even the LE&P was jointly owned by PRR and NYC. All in the name of fun operating possibilities
gmpullmanMore Consolidated Rail and predecessors, please.
I think this is correct... the New York Central:

More common XM box cars, any flavor, please.
gmpullman More common XM box cars, any flavor, please.
I wasn't sure what the definition of an XM boxcar was so I pulled this off a Trains webpage
XM – Boxcar for general service equipped with side or side and end doors
I think these two would qualify.
How about a 50 foot boxcar, any color.
John-NYBWHow about a 50 foot boxcar, any color.
Here's a white "Leaky Valley" fifty footer:

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
