The Third Rail of Politics

With all the talk soon to be heard about Social Security being “The third rail of politics” it might be interesting to read the first paragraph of the right-hand column on page 5 of this brochure.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS YOURSELF. THIS DEMONSTRATION HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS!!!

“Q Can RDT be installed on electrically live rails?

A Yes, RDT can be installed on energized rails. Track outages are disruptive to train schedules; therefore, heating cables are typically required to be installed on live rails.”

SO I GUESS YOU CAN TOUCH A THIRD RAIL, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
