> How is rail bent to that extreme curvature?

The ring rail is original, having served at another location. Generally rail is bent with a rail bender set at 1' increments and turned to the same count on each setup. The other possibility is that the rail was bent into a curve when produced at the rail mill. We're not sure since it came from Edaville in this configuration.
