Twist is right... N-S or E-W not much difference. But a perfectly flat
track , a straight line, would not be level. It would rise from the middle
to each end. The carriage would roll from the ends to the middle point.
Picture a tangental line to a circle.... A level line would follow the
curvature of the earth...and wouldn't be straight LOL

Philip, I would expect it to not depend on the north/south direction of the
track at all, but rather the simple inclination of the track under the rail
car at the end. Assuming a perfectly flat track, the train should not move
at all. But I'm feeling a twist coming....
