Hahahaha, our train system is already down if there is a bit of snow on the tracks.

Metro Rail shouldn't have allowed that to go ahead. When you think about it, most of the train's traction systems are underneath the carriages.

proves trains can do anything

I told you not to flush while in the station...

Electric traction supplied by overhead catenary pantograph...no third rail traction current here.

@txlonghorn05 Actually, you wouldn't feel a thing if you jumped in that water. The rail is grounded deeply and has less resistance than the water. Plus the current that goes into the water is spread evenly across the entire body of water. There have been tests performed to see how it works.
The same way you can take a swim in a lake during a thunderstorm, or do you see all underwater life suddenly die when lightning strikes a lake or near it?
Last train from Venice, now boarding...

@sspope There is no such thing as negative charge. The rails are a ground, as long as the wheels touch the track there is a complete circuit, which is why it works. I wouldn't jump in that water though.
