it causes friction, thus causing a force to push the track
+++
Friction (actually called "adhesion" in railway parlance) gives the necessary grip between driving-wheel and rail-head, but the overall benefit is that the rolling resistance is very low, allowing a heavy load to be moved with far less power than would be necessary for the same mass as a laden road vehicle even on a high-standard road.
