They were probably put in back when transit systems could actually afford staff to know where the thing was and push it.
Quoting: Candy Corn It's there, but no staff are on the platforms. The thing about the 3rd rail is, it is not constantly flowing with juice. It runs in sections; each section is not constantly on. This guy just hit it at the moment it certainly was on. And don't try the "piece of wood" trick, as another poster advised, unless you want your ass knocked back about 20 feet. Wood isn't a great conductor of electricity, but with enough amps, the juice IS going somewhere. Once this guy guy touched that rail, forget it, Let the pro's handle it from there. Okay, you need to stop talking because you haven't gotten it right yet, power is constantly running through the third rail, what the hell do you think powers the train? The third rail is connected all over NYC, there is NO shut off "button" accessible to the public. Each and every subway station has at least one power cutoff button. Here in Toronto, we have them at either end of the platforms, DWAs (fixed camera'd areas with direct cc and intercom to station management) every 40 feet or so. You slam the intercom button and yell "cut power, man on tracks" and they're trained to do so. Yes, the subway system is hooked to the grid, but EACH INDIVIDUAL TRACK SECTION can be controlled. What, you don;t think these systems are computerized? They just draw juice and go? NoooOoOooo. Also, OF COURSE they let just anyone hit the emergency shutoff buttons. They have them in the subway cars too, every 10 goddamn feet, and they're bright yellow. If you hit an emergency stop for ANYTHING but an emergency, they fine you and jail you. That's why every other jackass doesn't do it, because every other jackass would be in jail by now. Go to fucking NYC, we are not talking about Toronto, NYC is chock-o-block full of hoodlums who don't give a shit, they jump turnstyles and run rampant in the subway, stick to what you know.
