May I introduce you to the steel wheel rolling on a steel rail?



Not frictionless, so it will also slowly degrade over time. It just has so much mass built-in that it’s not obvious.


But, critically to the conversation we're having, does not produce harmful particulates when it does so.


Railway dust contains quite a bit of PM2.5, PM10 and NOx.


Yup, make a rail to everybodys home instead, that will solve it.
