Reading an article about the autumn leaves making a mess on the Appalachian Railroads [CSX, NS] and the expensive equipment and costs associated with keeping the tracks clear & clean.

In the article, it mentioned how the leaves cause 'flat spots' on the railcar wheels. The question more precisely asked is:
"How do the leaves cause flat spots on the wheels of train cars?"
