ABSTRACT A method of lubricating a section (usually curved) of rail of a railway track subjected to wear by the wheel- flanges of passing railroad vehicles involves intermittently propelling discrete pellets of lubricant horizontally force- fully against an inner side surface of the rail section. The shots of lubricant may be controlled by using a signal voltage applied between the rails or by means of an electric transducer, an inductive transducer, a clock or the like. Compressed air and/or lubricant is applied to a metering dispenser from separate storage containers arranged at a distance from the dispenser which is horizontally spaced from an inner side surface of the rail section. The lubricant pellets are propelled with such force as to ensure that the lubricant contacts the surface even in the presence of normal obstacles such as ice and snow.
