Longer trains

You could even try superelevating the curves, as intermodal trains are pretty fast (or so I've heard)and this practice is to elevate the outside of the curve a little more then the inside so the train is at an angle. This is especially useful if the intermodal cars are fully loaded (height). This wouldn't work if the problem is that train cars are tipping into the inside anyway, so use as needed. however, NEVER try to elevate the inside of a curve or the trains will fly off and into the surrounding scenery.
