The rail system includes a rail extending in a direction defining a moving direction, the rail having a shape adapted to receive the hook portion of the hanger such that the hook is received on a top portion thereof. The rail system further includes a removable cover affixed to the rail. The cover is (1) made of a flexible, low-friction material; (2) affixed to the rail such that the cover (i) extends along the moving direction; (ii) overlays at least the top portion of the rail; and (3) is configured to have an open cross-section, whereby the cover may be selectively removed from and overlayed on the rail over the rail.
