Let's have some fun and learn together about the world of trains, both in Thailand and around the globe! We'll explore how they are similar or different, whether they all operate at a loss, and how they have evolved over time.
What happens if train tracks get wet from the rain?
In the video, the speaker discusses the question of whether train tracks become slippery when wet from rain, potentially causing trains to lose braking ability. The speaker explains that while the tracks and wheels are both metal, and friction is key to slowing down or starting a train, the presence of water on the tracks does cause some slippage. However, the weight of the train helps to minimize this effect, especially for heavier trains. Lighter trains are more susceptible to slippage. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of train operators analyzing the situation and taking necessary precautions, such as using appropriate braking distances and ensuring smooth operation for safety.
