    Acefanatic is correct.

    Last one for today

    Question #8

    A part of a train that is generally a flat piece of steel with a nylon or rubber surface that is attached to the train and placed underneath the track or to keep the train from flying off. If the [blank] comes in contact with the track due to the train rising from negative g-forces it will slide along the track and prevent the train from rising any further.
