Wheelslip: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 21:44, 17 March 2025

Poor traction can make wheels of motorized rail vehicles slip, if too much torque is delivered. Even minor wheelslip greatly hinders acceleration, which can make the train unable to climb a grade , and cause major damage to the wheels .

If you experience wheelslip, apply traction prevention methods immediately.

Installing an anti-wheelslip computer gadget ensures automatic throttle and sander regulation, helping mitigate wheelslip.
