Super Elevated Log Dump

Some mills simply used super elevated tracks to ... more / less... roll the logs off the car and into the mill pond. I know there's been talk about super elevated tracks for curves, but would somethin like this be possible in Trainz?
If so, are ther any guides for making the track that could possibly be converted to a log dump? Thanks in advance.
 
"Slugsmasher" has a log dump asset on the DLS as I recall in 3' narrow-gauge, but as to the super elevation of the rail I doubt that it has been done. I believe it was generally deemed that the difficulty outweighed the rewards. The super elevation should be noticeable as it was fairly significant, the Eagle Lake & West Branch Railroad had a six inch super elevation on their unloading track. EL&WBRR was abandoned in the 30's and the primary power still sits deep in the woods to this day as it wasn't cost effective to remove the steam engines. There is a Wikipedia article and a number of articles in hobby publications on it.
