ranhura/sulco na roda (de uma locomotiva)
Foi o que entendi a partir deste texto:
The witness groove in the wheel is traced in red in this photo. As part of the 92 day inspections, they measure from the witness groove out to the end (the yellow), double that value and add the witness groove diameter to calculate true wheel diameter at that particular inspection point. The WG diameter can be 36 or 38, depending on whether the original spec on the wheels for that class of loco was either 40, 'fat 40', or 42. You only really see witness grooves on locomotive wheels, given the tighter inspection regs, and seldom on freight cars. Worn down freight car wheels are usually bad-ordered by high flanges before the tread gets too shallow. https://www.trainsim.com/vbts/showthread.php?325937-Term-Def...
groove: ranhura, sulco

: Não é qualquer tipo de sulco, é preciso transmitir o significado de witness. A tradução ficou incompleta

ranhura da amostra (do testemunho)
O termo "witness" em inglês deve ser uma tradução indevida de "testemunho" em outra língua. Testemunho = specimen, ou seja, a amostra (roda ou trecho do trilho) extraída para testes.

On the inside flange of each steel railroad wheel there is a manufactured groove that marks its true diameter, regardless of the actual wheel size. In the railroad industry, gauges are used to measure the amount of wear the wheel experiences in its contact with steel rails over time. These gauges measure wear from the reference point of the manufactured groove, referred to in the industry as the "Witness Groove". From time to time, the average railroad wheel can be measured for wear and bears witness to every rail, switch, roadbed and curve that marked its passage through its useful life.

esmerilhamento do boleto
Como o boleto é o ponto que tem contato e atrito direto e constante com as rodas dos trens, naturalmente é o mais suscetível a apresentar desgastes visíveis. Esses desgastes variam, desde ranhuras e fricções até trincas e fraturas. É fundamental evitar que o boleto chegue até o momento em que ele se rompa totalmente e não tenha mais condições de uso.
O esmerilhamento do boleto é uma técnica de Manutenção de trilhos de trem que, de forma preventiva, através do uso de esmerilhadeiras, busca a eliminação de pequenas fraturas no boleto dos trilhos. O método usado para a remoção dessas fraturas é a abrasão.
