Description:
"Hotbox" one of the most destructive mechanical failures that can strike a train. Caused when a wheel bearing lacks sufficent lubrication, friction heats it molten hot, and the whole wheel/axle assembly disintigrates, as you can imagine, at 40mph, with dozens of freight cars in tow, this can cause a serious derailment |
