The cleaning trolley is designed to be placed in a train consist and pulled around the layout by a locomotive. As it runs, rotating discs and cleaning components polish the rail surface, while the suction system helps remove fine dust particles. This continuous-action system helps maintain reliable electrical contact and reduces stalling caused by dirty track.
