Apologies if this is the wrong Forum.
I would be interested to learn, please, if tracks are lubricated in some way, and, if so, why, apart from corrosion prevention. I was under the impression the metal used, Mangalloy ?? had properties which reduced corrosion and am interested, being an engineer, albeit not rail related, as to why track is lubricated and how along with the frequency of application.
I am obviously aware of slipping / sand boxes for extra adhesion hence I was surprised to learn track is lubricated
Thanks in advance
