# WheelSlip

Wheel slip in locomotives is a hot topic, with recent posts highlighting both technical explanations of adhesion physics and dramatic visual examples from Indian Railways. The GE B36-7 locomotive's struggles with wheel slip are being dissected, while WAG7s in India are shown experiencing significant wheel slip.

### About WheelSlip

"The Locomotive That Slid Instead of Pulled This documentary explains why the GE B36-7s extra horsepower didnt translate into real pulling power. By digging into adhesion physics axle loading and early wheelslip control logic it shows how the locomotive repeatedly hit the rails grip limit before it could use its full output. Through crew experience and dispatch reality the video breaks down why railroads had to manage the B36-7 instead of trusting it. In the end it became a clear lesson that weight balance and control matter more than headline horsepower. #trains #railroads #amtrak"
