<P>Chuck mate you are quite right, i have an unusual set of circumstances contaminating my rail.</P> <P>!) I live near the ocean and i get salt laden air.</P> <P>2) The track runs through tropical palms and ferns which have an exudation into the air.</P> <P>3) and now i have this problem with ants. It only involves certain types of ants which leave a trail od acid on the rail the passage of electricity through it converts it to a sticky black substance and only certain locos are affected.</P> <P>I clean my track weekly but i could weel do it twice per week.</P> <P>Rgds ian</P>
