Locomotives have sanders - tubes that drop sand on the rails ahead of the locomotive's wheels to aid traction when going up hills. The most modern locomotives also use anti-wheel-slip technology to mimimize wheel slippage; this is computer-controlled.

What is rolling friction and sliding friction?

I assume this relates to a wheel. When the wheel is rolling, the surface of the wheel is not moving relative to the surface of the road when they are in contact. however, the wheel deforms slightly and because of this, the normal force slightly opposing the motion of the wheel rather than simply pushing it up. This is rolling friction or more commonly known as static friction. When the wheel is sliding, the wheel is sliding over the road's surface, meaning that there is relative movement between the wheel and the road. this is known as sliding friction or kinetic friction.
