Applying the "Slick em"  Contributor's Pick!       
The traction motor bearing on number 2 axle of the rear truck on KCS 4045 overheated and eventually welded itself to the axle. The train stopped at West Greenville and shop forces were called from Wylie. A maintenance worker applies "slick em" as the locomotive is gently shoved into the sideing.
