    • 1956 May, “Eliminating Slipping of Locomotives”, in Railway Magazine, page 280:
      Experiments on steep inclines in the United States showed that washing the rails with a detergent to remove oil and grease resulted in a marked improvement; but conditioning the rails with a special neutralising chemical completely eliminated slipping on a bank on which it was so common as to necessitate restriction of trainloads.
