I'm curious as to the typical way parallel tracks are run through a curve.
For example, say you have a single track and you'd like to add a parallel track with 14'-0" track centers on tangent. On a 3 degree curve you'd like to increase track spacing to 14'-6" - how would you reach that 14'-6" clearance at the PC and PT of the curves? Would you increase the track centers in advance of the PC in order reach those required track centers?
