If you've ever done any "tin knocking", this hint would be familiar to you. Attach one screw in the end of the rail, take a rubber mallet, and while putting a little pressure on the other end, start tap, tap, tapping the rail back around the curve. You'd be surprised how much that rail will bend.
And a hundred easy taps, is better than ten hard taps...
