Chicago Union Station approach track radius

Tracks approaching the north platform side of CUS have a sharp 90° curve a little north of the station. Does  anyone know the radius of these curves?

Thanks,
Barry

Google maps has a measuring tool.   About 800' radius.

That's about a 6 degree curve, not very sharp relatively speaking...
