A slippery rail refers to a section of railway track that has become smooth or slick, making it difficult for train wheels to grip properly. This can happen due to various factors, such as ice, snow, rain, or a build-up of oils and other substances on the rails. When rails are slippery, it increases the risk of trains slipping or having trouble stopping, which can lead to accidents or delays. Railway companies often take steps, like applying sandite or using specialized equipment, to reduce the slipperiness and improve safety during adverse weather conditions.
