  • RAIL ROAD TRACK LUBRICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20200017130
    Abstract: An apparatus and system for applying lubricant to a rail road track having a control module, a housing, a lubricant distribution block, and a plurality of tubes for connecting the control module to the housing wherein the housing houses the lubricant distribution block. The control module is positionable in close proximity to the rail road track and the housing is positionable adjacent to and along a section of rail road track to be lubricated. The lubricant is stored in a vessel in the control module and pumped from the control module to a lubricant distribution nozzle connected to the housing and wherein sliding the lubricant distribution nozzle along the section of rail road track in a first direction distributes lubricant along the section of rail road track and then the block returns to a first position.
