Abstract
A lubrication system is contained within the body of a non-freight carrying intermodal container for lubricating a pair of rails of a train track. The lubrication system includes at least a lubricant holding tank for holding lubricant, a lubricant dispensing pump, and one or more hoses connected to the lubricant holding tank for directing a flow of the lubricant to one or more nozzles. The nozzles are positioned to distribute lubricant to at least a top of the pair of rails. The nozzles may be mounted with respect to a car body, floor, or axle trucks. The container is easily moved and repaired via its corner fittings, for example.
