Understanding Tractive Resistance in Railways by siddharth ojha is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Traction refers to the pulling or propelling of trains. The locomotive provides the tractive power to overcome various resistive forces and pull the coaches. There are several resistances that act against train movement including train resistance from friction, resistance from track profile like gradients and curves, and resistance from starting, stopping and wind. The hauling capacity of a locomotive depends on the weight on its driving wheels and friction between wheels and rails. Locomotive design consid
