you can bring some candle wax and rub it on so the rail slides easier

The best way to get rust off of rails is to use a can of wd-40 and some steel wool. Spray the wd-40 on and scrape the rail with steel wool. Voila, instant slideability.

I found pouring diet coke onto tin foil and rubbing the rail with the tin foil works well
