The classical hunting oscillation is a swaying motion of a railway vehicle caused by the coning action on which the directional stability of an adhesion railway depends. It arises from the interaction of adhesion forces and inertial forces. At low speed adhesion dominates, but as the speed increases the adhesion forces and inertial forces become comparable in magnitude, and the oscillation begins at a critical speed. Above this speed the motion can be violent, damaging track and wheels, and potentially causing derailment. The problem would not occur on systems with a differential, although these tend to be rare on conventional trains which have their wheels in pairs fixed to the axles in what are known as wheelsets
