Totally non-abrasive leaves no particles or other matter for secondary clean-up.
100% Cleaning Contact with all rails at all times. Highly Snag and De-rail Resistant because of rolling action.
Will NOT damage delicate turn-outs. The wheels of the following cars are also cleaned.
(or may be used without fluids). The roller is guided along the rails by the frame of the cleaning car.
The roller is allowed to ''float'' and gravity will press it firmly onto the rails.
Because there is a small amount of drag concentrated in the roller, it will be slipping (slightly) even when turning.
Rail grime is absorbed into the cleaning surface of the roller and removed from the rails (not just smeared around).
The fluid that remains on the rails (before evaporation) will loosen built-up dirt from the wheels of any locomotives and cars that follow.
After several passes, the rails and wheels of all rolling stock should be electrically clean and free from wheel slippage.
