Introduction
Friction management using solid or fluid (oil, grease, etc) substances at the wheel-rail interface is
a complex subject and includes:
— lubrication of the wheel flange / rail gauge corner interface, commonly referred to as “flange
or rail lubrication”;
— lubrication of the back of flange/ check rail interface, commonly referred to as “check rail
lubrication”;
— altering the level of friction at the interface between the top of rail and the wheel tread,
commonly referred to as “top of rail friction management”;
— applying materials to the wheel rail contact to increase (improve/ enhance/ recover) adhesion.
This document sets out requirements for the lubrication of the wheel flange / rail gauge corner and
back of flange/ check rail interface. It describes systems fitted on board trains and on the track, as
both systems may need to be employed to achieve effective lubrication of the wheel-rail interface.
