Difference between Locomotive wheelslip and Slippery rail

Locomotive wheelslip vs. Slippery rail

Locomotive wheelslip is an event that affects railway motive power usually when starting from stationary, but can also affect an engine in motion. Slippery rail or low railhead adhesion, is a condition of railways (railroads) where contamination of the railhead causes trains to experience less adhesion (grip).

Similarities between Locomotive wheelslip and Slippery rail

Locomotive wheelslip and Slippery rail have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Friction, Rail transport, Sandbox (locomotive), Sandite, Steam locomotive, Traction (engineering).

Friction

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

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.

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.
