Thank you.

"As you probably know, a slower moving train will make fewer axle revolutions over the same distance a faster moving train does."

Due to increased wheel slip/lower adhesion?

A smaller wheel makes more revolutions than a larger one to go the same distance. Hence an axle mounted odometer is made inaccurate by mounting it on a wheel for which it is not calibrated.

But the same wheel at different speeds? Are my proposed above reasons the cause?
