Some of the rolling stock and engines, especially the larger cars and the EMD SD80 need very smooth corners. Also it helps to ensure couplers have free movement in their pockets as they need to give their max sway in the corners. I had one gondola that I had accidentally super glued the coupler along with the pocket cover. It derailed in the corner and I discovered that was the issue upon examination of the problem.
