# Railway lubrication

Reduces friction in moving components of trains and heavy transport systems.

Family: Lubrication applications

## Processes
- Rail/flange lubrication
- Wheel-rail contact

## Challenges
- Rail and flange wear
- Noise
- Environmental contamination from greases

## Advantages
- Durable lubrication
- Good load behavior
- Controlled application options

## Limitations
- Not a hydrodynamic oil lubricant
- May stain light-colored surfaces
- Performance depends on surface preparation and reapplication
