The tread is exactly 90 degrees to the flange.  The tread is flat and perfectly 
horizontal and parallel to the ties.  The is no small filet radius between the 
tread and the flange.  Not criticizing, just explaining.  With a tapered tread 
the loco tends to keep itself centered on the track and not wander.  With a 
small radius, the wheels tend to NOT pick points.  It is the cross section of 
the tread that is square.  The other view shows a circle.  Ed Loizeaux
