Not being an engineer but having worked at a narrow-gauge and diesel railway theme park, I know that it was because of the mountain curves that narrow-gauge rails were used in logging to accommodate them because the larger gauge rails could not; "transition curve" sounds like it's a very gradual turn that ever narrows into the required tighter radius.
What else can I help you with?
