What effect will the use of sandboxes during start-up on slippery rails trigger?

Explanation

Correct answer: Facilitates start-up - reduce wheel slip.

Sanders dispense sand directly onto the rails in front of the driving wheels, which significantly increases the friction between the wheel and the rail. Thanks to this increased traction, the wheels do not slip on a slippery surface, which enables the effective transfer of driving force and a smooth start from a standstill.
