noun horseshoe curves

A curve in the shape of a horseshoe, often on a railway, where hairpin bends cannot be used. It only remains to notice briefly the branch from Whitland to Cardigan, which for a few miles pursues its tortuous and picturesque course along the valley of the Taf, thence rising by very severe gradients to Crymmych Arms, near to which station is a striking horse-shoe curve.
