In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a lubrication system mounted on a railroad locomotive for applying a lubricant to a rail. The system is comprised of a manifold that defines a generally endless, closed lubricant path. A pump is provided to continuously convey a lubricant along the lubricant path. A reservoir for holding the lubricant defines a portion of the lubricant path. A dispensing nozzle is mounted to the locomotive above each rail for directing the lubricant onto each rail. A metering device is associated with each dispensing nozzle. Each metering device is connected to the manifold and an associated nozzle for diverting a metered amount of the lubricant from the lubricant path to the associated nozzle.
A lubrication system mounted on a railroad locomotive for applying a lubricant to a rail, said system comprised of:
A lubrication system mounted on a railroad locomotive for applying a lubricant to a rail, said system comprised of:
