About
Lubrication protects railway components from wear and damage, and keeps them working as they should. It's easy to overlook, until failures start to occur or components get damaged. This free course walks through how and why five key track components are lubricated in the real world: slide chairs, fishplates and expansion joints, switch tips and check rails, points operating equipment, and railhead cleaning. It's built in partnership with Interflon, who supply lubrication products into the rail industry. Whether you're new to rail and want to understand the job properly, or you're already doing it and want the reasoning behind it, this gives you a clear picture of what the maintenance actually involves.
