I don't think that the actual roof structure is curved. You can just fold a crease into the roof instead of fussing with getting an exact radius.

The rafters meet at an angle. So do the roof planking.

The shingles laid over the angle appear to curve as they overlap each other over the angle.

The curved appearance is enhanced by the application of a curved fascia board.

On this very station, the roof structure was actually curved. It's very common in my area.

My house (1875) follow the traditional way these roof were done. Curved wood structural members were added on top of rafter to get this shape.

I must admit, the La Pocatière station is indeed done like you said.
