Superelevation (Banking) is used to increase the "comfort speed" for passengers around curves, but Jeff, you're saying it also comes into play for steering? Because the center of gravity is shifting twoards the inner rail?

European frieght wagons do have two axle cars, but they don't use trucks, the axles are attached to the car frame and don't pivot, the car itself becomes one ridgid "truck" and the axles are still not radial.
