Wheels stay on track due to the design of the track and the wheel's shape, typically featuring a flange that helps guide the wheel along the rail. The track provides a defined path, while the flange prevents lateral movement, ensuring stability and adherence to the intended route. This system is crucial for vehicles like trains, as it allows for smooth and safe navigation at various speeds. Additionally, the weight distribution and mechanical properties of the vehicle contribute to maintaining contact with the track.
The wheels have flanges on the inside edges, they keep the wheels on the rail. The wheels would not stay on the tracks without the flanges.
The top of the track is rounded, and the wheels on the train are also slightly rounded, at any one time there is only the surface area of a dime touching the rail, this along with incredible weight and the flange on the wheel keep the train on the track.
In a right turn, the rear wheels will track inside the path of the front wheels.

Rail cars stay on the track primarily due to the design of their wheels and the tracks themselves. The wheels are shaped with a conical profile, allowing them to fit snugly within the rails, which helps guide the cars along the track. Additionally, the rails are mounted on ties and ballast, providing stability and support to maintain the proper alignment and elevation. This combination of wheel shape and track structure helps prevent derailment while allowing for smooth movement.
Road Wheels-these run on top of the track. Friction Wheels-these either run on the inside or outside of the track, depending on the builder. They are used to make sure the car doesn't go off the side. Upstop Wheels- these are on the bottom of the track so that when the car gets airtime or goes through an inversion, the car stays on the track.

Widening the track. Also called spacing the wheels.
