Slippery rail refers to a condition in which the rail surface becomes more difficult for train wheels to grip, leading to reduced traction. This can occur due to a variety of factors, including the accumulation of moisture, ice, snow, or leaves on the rails. Additionally, certain types of rail maintenance or wear can also create a slippery surface. When rails are slippery, it can significantly impact the performance and safety of trains.
