An applicator for applying a friction modifying material to the surface of a rail is provided. The applicator comprises a resilient body for applying a composition to a surface of a rail. The resilient body comprises an outer impervious surface and defines a sealed passageway that extends through the resilient body for the composition to flow through; and an applicator support, wherein the resilient body is secured to the applicator support. A rail applicator assembly and methods for using the applicator are also provided. 1. A rail applicator comprising , an elongate resilient body and an applicator support , the resilient body comprising a sealed top surface defining an exit port , a sealed front surface , a sealed back surface , the sealed top , front , and back surfaces are impervious to the composition , and a bottom surface defining an inlet port , the bottom surface secured to the applicator support , the resilient body defining a sealed passageway that extends through the resilient body from the inlet port to the exit port , the surface of the sealed passageway is impervious to the composition , the applicator support for attaching the rail applicator to a rail , so that when the rail applicator is attached to the rail and in fluid communication with a composition source , the rail applicator applies the composition to a top surface of the rail.2. The rail applicator of claim 1 , wherein the sealed passageway is angled towards a front surface of the resilient body.3. The rail applicator of claim 1 , wherein the sealed passageway is wider at the exit port than at the inlet port claim 1 , the inlet port claim 1 , exit port and sealed passageway are of a same width claim 1 , or the sealed passageway is narrower at exit port than at the inlet port.4. The rail applicator of claim 1 , wherein the exit port of the sealed passageway is substantially slot-shaped claim 1 , or substantially circular-shaped.5. The rail applicator of claim 1 , wherein the rail applicator ...
