Water it may be, but it doesn't mix very well with 25kv, and it makes the rails slippery.
Also, the running rails are used for controlling signalling - so that the signaling equipment knows when a block is occupied. Normally, the wheels short the two rails, completing the circuit and setting the previous signal to red, This marks the block as occupied.
When flood water shorts the rails, it looks like there's a train there, and all the signals go red, so nothing can move and causes delays.
@gwmss15 The one that is used in Northern Thailand is baslicly a Class 158 but running on Meter gauge bogies and with various other modifcations. When they were shipped they were even in Regional Railways Livery.
The single remaining working class 158 is still in the as shipped livery. there are bits of others laying around in railyards with bits missing off them now days.
they are very fast i think they might be the fastest thing on SRT system but the Daewoo units are more comfortable with better aircon and there are alot more of the daewoo in service today than these
