Diesel locomotive
A diesel locomotive is a type of railway locomotive in which the prime mover is a diesel engine.

Electric locomotive
An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from overhead lines, a third rail or on-board energy storage such as a battery or a supercapacitor.

Friction
Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other.

Motive power
In thermodynamics, motive power is a natural agent, such as water or steam, wind or electricity, used to impart motion to machinery such as an engine.

Oil
An oil is any nonpolar chemical substance that is a viscous liquid at ambient temperatures and is both hydrophobic (does not mix with water, literally "water fearing") and lipophilic (mixes with other oils, literally "fat loving").

Power (physics)
In physics, power is the rate of doing work, the amount of energy transferred per unit time.

Rail profile
The rail profile is the cross sectional shape of a railway rail, perpendicular to its length.

Rail transport
Rail transport is a means of transferring of passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, also known as tracks.

Sandbox (locomotive)
A sandbox is a container on most locomotives, multiple units and trams that holds sand, which is dropped on the rail in front of the driving wheels in wet and slippery conditions and on steep grades to improve traction.

Sandite
Sandite is a substance used on railways in the UK, Ireland, US, the Netherlands and Belgium to combat leaves on the line,http://www.agrri.org.uk/BRR/docs/TM-TRIB-14%20_A_.pdf which can cause train wheels to slip and become damaged with flat spots.

Slippery rail
Slippery rail or low railhead adhesion, is a condition of railways (railroads) where contamination of the railhead causes trains to experience less adhesion (grip).

Steam locomotive
A steam locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine.

Traction (engineering)
Traction, or tractive force, is the force used to generate motion between a body and a tangential surface, through the use of dry friction, though the use of shear force of the surface is also commonly used.

Train wheel
A train wheel or rail wheel is a type of wheel specially designed for use on rail tracks.
New!!: Locomotive wheelslip and Train wheel · See more »
Weight
In science and engineering, the weight of an object is related to the amount of force acting on the object, either due to gravity or to a reaction force that holds it in place.

Wheel speed sensor
A wheel speed sensor or vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is a type of tachometer.
