In an adhesion railway, locomotives and carriages maintain traction through the weight pressing down on the tracks.
Engineers design adhesion railways to handle various weather conditions and track gradients efficiently.
Adhesion railways require careful management of wheel-to-rail contact to prevent slipping, especially in wet or icy conditions.
Unlike cogwheel railways found in mountainous regions, adhesion railways are more common in flat or moderately sloped terrain.
Operators ensure that adhesion railways are kept clear of debris to maintain sufficient grip between the wheels and the rails.
