"Die Öldichtigkeit des Fahrmotors wird auch im nicht belüfteten Zustand (z. B. Schleppfahrt) gewährleistet."
Talking about the gearbox of an electric locomotive. The only translation I have been able to find for "Schleppfahrt" is "haul drive", but I'm really not too sure about that. Does anyone know what "Schleppfahrt" would mean in a railway-specific context? TIA for your help.

the general meaning is "when being towed" "during towing" (even though the latter is not grammatically correct)
I don't see why this should not apply to locomotives too; the issue usually is that some parts are not receiving enough or any lubrication/ventilation (here) or brake pressure in that (the towed) state

: Well, I now also think it just means the locomotive is being towed - meaning the motor is not running. see "Schleppfahrt": http://www.lokifahrer.ch/Lokomotiven/SBB-Am_843.htm; "locomotive in tow" : http://trains.rockycrater.org/cfr/49cfr230.php
