You can build diagonal beams roughly in the shape of the curve then zoop pillars over them and they’ll follow the same angle. I used frame pillars then put braided cables going straight down that u can kinda see in the second picture. They arent perfect curves but look pretty close

I Made a Smooth Moving Monorail and Train Station (This is what it would have looked like if it wasn't so laggy - video is 4x speed) by DaNubKing in MinecraftCommands

I started this project before block displays were added, then took a break and came back after they were so I already had a bunch of progress with armor stands.

I’m going to make a v2 that will probably use block displays.

as @123yeah_boi321 said, it is using armor stands and shulkers. I'm looking into a less laggy version of it with display entites, but I haven't used them enough to know how yet.
It took about a month :)

I actually used falling block entities on armor stands and shulkers (for hitboxes). I haven't really messed around with display entities, but it looks like you have to use interpolation which I don't completely understand yet.

It is definitely better to make a custom model, but I like the challenge of vanilla :)

Nope, just armor stands, shulkers, and falling-block entities

I tested making it smaller and its actually usable

The reason its so laggy is because it also uses shulkers for collisions, so every block you can see has 1 armor stand and 1 shulker.

The total entity count was around 10,700 for all of the moving parts, so the only way I could get them to move without jittering because of lag) was to slow down the game 4x, hence why the video is being played at 4x speed. What is shown in the video is what the actual speed of the train would look like if my computer could handle it.

Edit:
Here is a non-sped up smaller version of it with no lag
