Flat spot
A Flat spot, or Wheel flat, is a fault in railroad wheel shape. A flat spot occurs when a rail vehicle's wheelset is dragged along the rail after the wheel/axle has stopped rotating. Flat spots are usually caused by faulty brakes or wheelset bearings. It can also be caused by use of the emergency brake, or slip and slide conditions that causes wheels to lock up while the train is still moving.
