Restraining rails exist to support trains from derailing in curved-track situations and switches. One wheel of an axle is guided on both sides so that the outside flange on the high rail side makes contact with the restraining rail. However, the friction from the contact creates high noise emissions. Lincoln’s restraining rail lubrication system reduces wear and noise emissions.
Mounting hardware for the restraining rail, like the gauge face bar, is designed for easy installation and removal for track maintenance. Its low-profile design reduces wheel strikes. The system utilizes pump-to-port technology to dispense the precise volume of lubricant to each port. The system’s high-pressure capability helps to ensure reliability even in cold temperatures.
