For a BG main line curve of 2°, a 1 in 12 turnout takes off in similar flexure for a loop. The turnout is immediately followed by a reverse curve. Find out the permissible cant on the main line and the speed that can be permitted. Take speed on turnout track as 15 kmph and permissible deficiency in cant as 75 mm.
