Traction in railway refers to the force that enables a train to move along the tracks. It primarily involves the interaction between the train's wheels and the rail surface, which is influenced by factors such as weight, wheel design, and rail conditions. Effective traction is essential for acceleration, braking, and maintaining speed, and it is achieved through various means, including electric or diesel engines. The design and technology used in locomotives play a crucial role in optimizing traction for efficient and safe operation.
