Reply to comment by Trpdoc in Man dies after touching 3rd rail at MBTA's Downtown Crossing station by riski_click

It’s so easy to miss and I’m not even 100% sure it’s the one I think it is lol. It also doesn’t seem to be the literal third rail depending on which way you’re looking at it? Idk. Why isn’t it painted red or with like lightning bolt symbols???

Paint is not a good conductor, so it will render the third rail useless.

Thank you lol. Well someone more educated than me in this should still find a better solution!
