Trains apply special grease to wheel flanges to prevent the loud squealing sound when rounding curves. Without this lubrication, the metal-on-metal contact between the wheel edge and rail can create noise exceeding 100 decibels. Modern systems automatically spray lubricant as trains navigate turns, extending both wheel and rail life by up to 50%. This seemingly small application saves railway companies millions in maintenance costs annually.
