Examples for a traction system (200) are provided. In one example, the traction system includes a nozzle (208) coupled to an air source and configured to be selectively aimed toward a determined portion of a rail surface of a rail, and a conduit (206) configured to supply pressurized air from the air source to the nozzle, the nozzle flexibly coupled thereto. The nozzle is configured for the aim of the nozzle to be controlled to change its aiming direction in response to a change in curvature of the rail, whereby a stream of air from the nozzle impacts the determined portion during movement of the vehicle through the curvature of the rail.
